[ml1936]

Is it possible to use my DUO as a NAS? I have movies saved on a connected external drive which i use to play on the DUO,but my SONY Bravia TV which picks up my WD Streamer dosnt seem to pick up the DUO. Any Ideas Anyone?

Yes and no.
You can use it as a NAS most easily by creating folders in the "movie" folder that exists. These will then be visible in the "movie" network share on your LAN. That's the "yes" part. The "no" part is that I doubt if your TV can access SMB shares; it almost certainly only uses DLNA, and that is not supported by the Vu+ as far as I know.

DLNA is fully supported on the VU+ which image are you using ?

Hi,
beside MiniDLNA there is another uPnP server called MediaTomb but you have to configure it manually via its web page. You can try this.
