Help with my Network problem please?

[SexyGreyFox]

I've got quite a few devices in my house and basically they can all see each other and I can navigate to any drive/folder I want on any device I want as long as I've shared them.
This means I have several devices that can see all my shared folders on my PC.
I'm trying a mates new Panasonic DMRHWT130 PVR and it has networking capabilities but even though it sees my PC I can't navigate into any shared folders, I just see this and all those directories are empty -

Any ideas why this device isn't seeing my PC like all my other devices?

Try adding 'Everyone' user and give it Read access.

Depends how the share is set up tbh.

This is already done, like I said, I have at least 4 other devices that see everything on my PC

off topic, if you record something from TV to this PVR, can you copy a program to USB hard drive so i can watch it at work with VLC player?

I haven't tried it but I believe you can.
You can setup a USB drive and put your recordings on it but I don't know the format yet.
I have another Satellite receiver (VU+ Solo2) that records in TS format.

The software is up to date

Does the PC see the DVR?

It does but unlike all the other drives it does not open.
It is the DMR

I'll go and check all the settings on it.

Does the PVR support reading from shares rather than just DLNA off a network ? as the folders look like the default DLNA ones for windows.

It reads every folder on my NAS and VU+ Solo2 that I have shared but not my PC!

I have had a quick scan of the manual for the PVR and it doesn't mention being able to access network shares only DLNA servers.

Is this the droid you are looking for?

Thanks for all your inputs.

If I drag a folder of my movies into Windows Media Player I can see it on the PVR.
A bit poor but it works.
