Raspberry Pi, XMBC, NAS Question

Joebob · 14 Oct 2014 at 17:59

I've been using a Rasp'Pi running openelec for quite a while now and I love it. Great little media centre for the money.

Anyway, I have just got myself a NAS setup instead of using an external drive plugged into the Pi via USB. I have my Movies, TV Shows, Music etc all setup and working great from the NAS.

When it was connected via USB I could browse the HDD from the Pi and play video files which weren't scanned to my library i.e. Holiday videos etc. I can't seem to find a way to do this now that I'm using a NAS... any suggestions?

I'm using a DLink 320L.

Thanks.

Of course, I don't know why I didn't think of that earlier - just add it as a video folder but don't set any scrapers! I didn't really want any erm... shall we say, adult art films, to be picked up by the scrapers and put into video libraries.

My original question was legit though, as I have some GoPro footage of a Skiing holiday I want to be able to access, so not all filth and deprivation

Separate folders and very well hidden. ;-)

Well I can't beleive how easy that was or why I didn't just think of the answer myself in the first place... I'm blaming the Man-Flu I currently have for clouding my mind!!!
