Seagate Goflex NAS

Could you guyz please make it alittle bit painless to stream media files from the Seagate goflex NAS, It's like getting a dental exam !!!

I was able to get serviio to see my windows 7 drive, all my dnlp devices can communicate and log it, except the most important device in the entire network (my media storage device). So I cant play my movies or music.

Re: Serviio unable to read files from GoFlex Home NAS
OK for anyone with the same problem, I solved this interestingly by reading the troubleshooter for tversity, specifically this section:


The TVersity Media Server will not be able to access content on the network unless the Windows service that corresponds to it has a log-on account of an administrative user of your choice. By Default the TVersity Media Server is installed such that it uses the system account. This account is very limited when it comes to networking and therefore it is necessary to modify it to a different account that is not limited in that respect. You can use your own account or if you prefer you can set-up a separate account for the media server. Here are the steps involved in changing the log-on account on Windows XP/2K:
Go to the Start menu / Settings / Control Panel. The control panel window should open.
Double click the Administrative Tools icon. The administrative tools window should be displayed.
Double click the Services icon from this window. The Services window should open.
Locate the TVersityMediaServer in the list of service and double click on it. A properties window should open. Select the Log On tab at the top of the property window. The Log On options should be displayed.
In this window, the Local System Account should appear as selected, and you should change it to This account. Enter your user name (or the user name of the account you wish the TVersity Media Server to use) in the text box next to the This Account label. Enter your password and confirm it and the click OK. This should close the properties window and the Services windows should now be visible again.
In the service window, make sure the TVersityMediaServer is still selected and click the underlined Restart (or if not available click the Start) on the top left corner of this window. This should restart the server using the newly entered account. If no error occurs you have successfully completed the process.
If some error occured please repeat the entire process and make sure you follow each step carefully.
On Windows Vista, if file virtualization is turned off, you may need to change the value of the registry key HKLM->Software->TVersity->Media Server->HOME to the path of the user account assigned to the TVersity Media Service (for example: C:\users\thetversityuseraccount\Media Server).
Also, avoid using mapped network drives inside playlists since these become available only upon log in and therefore are not visible to services. Instead use a full path starting with two slash characters on Windows, followed by the name of the computer on which the media resides, followed by another slash character and then followed by the name of the shared folder (and optionally also a path under this folder), for example: \\computername\sharename\path\to\file.

I had to create a password for my windows user account, then in the serviio services log in tab select my username from a list and enter my new password, and it worked. Perhaps this info could be updated into the serviio wiki?
