I know this is an old question but I'll answer this for everyone asking the same question.Yes it can... but you need to run a DLNA / Mediashare server app on your NAS or PC. Win XP, 7, 8: needs Windows Media Connect. Linux: you'll need to install MiniDLNA or Rygel or similar.After the server app is installed and configured, you can browse and play the shared media files from the TV through the "Media Share" app on the LG TV.I recently bought this TV and haven't found concise how-to info anywhere so I've researched and figured it out on my own. I hope I've provided helpful info.

I am wondering something similar. Can this be used to store the iTunes library to be accessed with Apple TV (then sent through the A/V receiver?)

Yes it is a Network drive that plugs into your router, NOT your computer It can be accessed from any computer on the network and files, music, photos etc can be sharedEasy to set up and use I have a 2TB duo & 3TB duo set up with a mirror driveFiles stored on one auto back up to the second drive

I have set up to my home network and do everything through a PC or Laptop, so I don't know the exact answer to this question. Even if it is possible the way you ask, it is definitely handy to do it through a PC

YesYou plug it into a router and can access it from any of the computers on your network (it is a network drive)You may want to "map the drive" with a letter so you computer sees the drive under My computerI use it as a backup to all my kids computer and a central location for all the music, photos etcYou can also access the music on the drive from a SONOS device so you can play the music over your stereoI have 2 of these

Hi Dan -- this is a network attached storage device, and as such your PC would access the NAS via the network connection. However, if your concern is access restriction, you can restrict access to other devices on the network in a variety of ways.

To my dismay, UPnP AV does not interoperate with DLNA. While I was able to view some folders (the TV does discover my NAS) and few image files, the Audio (mp3) and video files were not found by the TV.I tried installing Samsung software on my computer, it seem the media files are expected to be physically on the computer (and not as a mapped drive to the NAS). Additionally, the computer is expected to be 'wired' to the network (and not be wireless).Obviously there are workarounds. But I would prefer either Samsung supports UPnP AV or my NAS device supports DLNA.

You can access the drive from any machine on the same network. I have used the NAS with Win 7, Win 8.1, Android, Samsung TV and Ubuntu. If you are asking if the bundled application works with Win 8, sorry mine is installed on a Win 7 machine. Psst, after initial setup you won't need that software at all. Everything can be managed from the Web console.

If the NAS (Network-attached-storage) is DLNA-compliant, it should be accessible by the Sony player. If it is NOT DLNA-compliant, it is still possible, but not as assured. Also note that some DLNA equipment is certified for only photos and music (cannot guarantee the bandwidth of videos).

Yes it can with an app to allow you to connect to DLNA streaming devices (such as this Synology box), your only concern will be the amount of bandwidth to provide a quality stream.

Yes, this device supports DLNA that lets you access your network shares. Works great for me.

No, there is no way for it to access your laptop or your network. You need to copy the files onto an SD memory card or USB memory, then play the files on this player.

Short answer, yes.That's actually what it's made for and works great. You may also love the DLNA option as well if you have digital media you wish to share over your network.Movies and music can stream strait to your smart TV or any DLNA compatible media player from the NAS.If you have an Android device and plan on storing digital movies on this for network streaming, check out "media house pro"Great combo

I don't believe you can. The boxes themselves require a coax cable to be connected. The Joey then gets the Internet and HD feed from the parent box. You can access the video using disk anywhere on your smart phone or Apple device.

Yes, I think you can. Its a external AP but works as a client too. You just have to configure it as Client.

Not that I know of. There is the wireless network capability or you could use the cat-5 network cable plug in on the back but your hard drive would have to have it's own operating system similar to a Micca EP100 1080P Full-HD Digital Media Player for example.

Hi Bruce, if your network hard-drive have a DLNA feature, yes you can play your vídeos e photos remotely. There a lot of APP with DLNA feature.
