Hello. Brand new WD TV Play, purchased specifically because the User Manual (page 25) states that it can access my UPnP and DLNA equipment over my home network. I will be playing my movie files from a USB directly connected to the Play, but I want to be able to show photos from my network. I already read a thread of a similar nature to this, and someone (with around 1,400 posts) said that the person should have researched this product better because it was not intended to access data over a network, only play stuff from the Internet and USB. I don’t know how much better research can be done that looking at theh official documentation from the manufacturer.
I select My Storage and am presented with a screen that says “No storage connected. Please connect a USB storage or network storage to browse and play content.” I am on a wired network connection and have already tested several apps that access the internet – all is good. Why can’t this see my network? I have many devices on this network, both wired and wireless, and they can all access each other and can get to the server drives for photos, music, movies, etc. I am at the most current firmware of the Play (1.05.47).
Any ideas, or am I sending this back?
