Remote drives that cannot be accessed are almost always a permissions issue. Even though you can browse the files from Explorer, you are accessing the drive with different permissions than used by Serviio. This is because the Serviio service runs under a Local Service user account. This account by default does not have permission to access things not connected directly to the computer, i.e. your network drive.
There are three solutions.
One: make sure security is completely turned off on the hard drive connected to the router, so anything can connect to it. However, it may not be possible, depending on your router controls.
Two: change the user account that the Serviio service uses to your personal account. If you don't know how to do that, you can do a quick web search or PM me and I'll explain it in detail.
Three: remove the hard drive from the router and plug it directly into your Serviio computer. If you still want others on the network to be able to access it directly, then create a Windows share to the drive.
