Haven't had a try on mine yet, but from the details I saw it only works with nfs shares. Are you using these with your NAS? If so I assume it is the same as adding an nfs source as with any other platform.

what OS is your NAS running on ?
or what NAS do you have ?
I use CIFS shares for my kodi/xbox to be able to "see" the NAS

Have they updated already, thought it was NFS only.

Just installing now, slowly...

It’s a ready Nas duo , I didn’t set the shares up ( not very clever when it comes to this ) it was set up about 4/5 years ago

I would think it should support NFS, but it may not be enable by default. Simply put NFS is a linux file sharing protocol, while CIFS/SMB is a windows one.

What is the exact model?

If you follow the instructions in the link I gave, then under 'Browse for new share' use the 'Network File System (NFS)' option, any NFS shares on your network should be listed if they are enabled.

I’ll check the model , it’s been 5 years lol , oh and really appreciate the link ..thanks

Just got mine working, seems to work as expected. Looks like the interface for setting up the readynas is fairly simple, so I would check that nfs is enabled for your films/tv shares. Setting to read only access is probably sensible if you are not planning on using for anything else.

Audio passthrough doesn't allow DTS/HD streams but that is kind of expected, took them ages to enable that for bluray only.

As soon as I can kick the lad off the Xbox I’ll have ago at setting mine up

Yeah just got mine setup.
No Samba or Disc access atm as far as I know but NFS shares work great.
I've also got Kodi on my Xbone recording HD freeview now using Microsoft's £5.95 USB DVB T2
