    I think you will need to be running samba on the Humax to allow the windows machine with VLC to play the files.

    I have installed Samba but to be honest I am not sure what I am doing - sorry Dino.

    Edit - I don't use Windows, I am on Linux Mint which is based on Ubuntu.

    I have now googled to find out how to make my PC a client so I can access the Humax (which is definitely running Samba) - is there an easy guide anywhere?

    Solved - no idea how! But it's working, thank you Dino.

    I probably didn't help much - glad it is working.

    Another good place for support questions on the Media and File Server mod firmware is at AV Forums.
