    I do not have any options like that Martin , it just looks like it’s a basic Plex plug-in that I install through my WD Cloud front end all it says it’s going to do is add a Plex folder onto my drive which will allow any Plex supported devices to access that folder and any files that are inside it

    I think my drive does not support it , I have the WD My Cloud Home unit which is the basic model , I think I need the WD My Cloud Mirror unit , I’ve looked at the tech specs and manual of my unit and I cannot see any mention of DLNA

    An internet search indicates that both do come with the TwonkyMedia DLNA media server installed.
    It looks as though you need to first enable twonkymedia and then go through the twonkymedia setup, but that may be a bit old now and it may now be better integrated.

    Do you have a link Luke ? I cannot find anything that says my drive supports DLNA

    I attempted to search for the same pages that I was looking at yesterday and it looks as though the comparisons I was looking at were for My Cloud V My Cloud Mirror.
    There is a support forum for WD products and that has a thread that states that DLNA is not implemented for My Cloud Home, although it was for My Cloud.
    https://community.wd.com/t/really-very-disappointed-with-the-my-cloud-home-device/215861

    Also the 'Media' menu within 'Settings' that someone else mentioned was for My Cloud (and My Cloud Mirror) and not My Cloud Home, or My Cloud Home Duo.

    It is looking like that for a single HDD device that supports not just PLEX but DLNA the My Cloud would have been the better option.

    Thanks Luke for confirming me that , it’s just that I’ve had my WD box for a while now and only just got my Humax box so was hoping they would talk to each other, oh well never mind

    I was thinking about upgrading my NAS drive so maybe look for one that supports DLNA

    Thanks for the help
