Is it impossible to add NAS drive with Win7 Home?
Hi - I've looked through and tried a lot of the suggestions for adding a folder on a NAS drive to my Serviio library all to no joy - and I'm wondering if its just plain impossible to achieve this with Win 7 Home edition...
According to the help page its all about credentials. http://www.serviio.org/component/content/article?id=21#q5 . As far as I can tell, I need identical user accounts on windows and on my NAS drive. Then I need to add the user to the Serviio log in in Services and also give the user "Run As Service" rights, and then add the NAS drive as a 'UNC' path.
I am no IT expert and find the whole networking experience on windows anything from mildly confusing to incomprehensibly insane. But as far as I can tell I've set up the user accounts etc all correctly except there appears to be no way to give the user the Run as Service rights. This is apparently achieved through editing my Local Security Policy in Admin but its seems my version of Windows 7 (home premium) does not have this option - its only listed on the more advanced versions of Win 7.
Does this mean that there is no way I can add the Shared Videos on my NAS drive if I cannot give a user these Run as Service rights - or is possible that I have added something incorrectly elsewhere? I can see the NAS shared folder on my TV but it doesn't scan the contents : 'No Items To Display'.
My set up is WIndows 7 Home Premium with a Workgroup
Virgin Wireless Router
WD My Cloud Network Drive
And a Sony Bravia smart TV.
Oh and the latest version of Serviio of course!
