Network Shares access via phone

Post by crooozin »

Since the server app is required to be run on a PC, I can't access any of my music since it all resides on a NAS. I have only three computers- one resides outside the DMZ so isn't available for this, another is a workstation t hat won't be seeing any music for the time being, and the last is my UMPC. The way it's configured the UMPC gets shut off with the surround system and I have good reasons to not want to change that, not the least of which is my power bill.

So, I'm stuck. I can't access my music on my phone since my NAS won't run the servlet. This is a real bummer. If this were possible, I'd paint a big MM symbol on the hood of my car. (Well maybe not, but you get the idea.) I really really don't want to install another carPC in my new car, this would save me a bunch of money and tme.

Most NAS will have a DLNA server like Twonky installed.

MediaMonkey for Android can't access Network Shares however some apps like Archos Video Player can: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... .videofree

Yes, that's true (It's actually just a couple of big drives connected via USB to my router, which does have a DLNA server). But the requirement for phone mm is that the server be running mm too. Is that not the case?

MediaMonkey for Android can play files from any DLNA server so it should work with your routers DLNA server.
