Watch on my tv all the content on my NAS

  • Hi,


    So I installed a OMV on a RPI PI, created shared folders, shared them in different protocols like DNLA and SMB/Cifs (both activated). Folder are visible from my iMac

    But I can't find anything on my LG TV, neither in the media section or any app on de LG store which can access to the nas.


    It's a recent LG smartTV Oled with webOS. Any suggestion?

  • use miniDLNA on your server and remember to add the shared folder.


    On your TV you must see a new imput like DLNA nor HDMI1,


    You can see multimedia content in this easy way.



    You can of course install Plex on your NAS and plex on your LG TV and see the same content but more user frienly.

  • To use Plex you need to:


    Sign up for a free Plex account at plex.tv


    Install Plex Media Server on your NAS

  • Please, always specify the version of OMV you are using by tagging the post.


    If the video was made for OMV 4 and you are using OMV 5, this would explain you why you can't find Docker under Services.

  • If you just want to play back files from your NAS, miniDLNA is totally sufficient.

    On my LG TV (from 2018) pressing the

    button, (in the middle underneath the cursor keys)

    shows my "<name>-MiniDLNA" server.

    You must have added shares to the miniDLNA/shares section.


    If you see your miniDLNA server and shares but no content, check the permissions on share level.


    Cheers,

  • The vast majority of all problems with Plex are related to not having the proper permissions on the media files such that the user the Plex docker runs as can read those files.


    You can expect similar problems with any docker that needs to read user files.

  • Regarding miniDLNA ...

    do have a mobile device (smart phone) which might be able to detect and playback content from your miniDLNA server ?

    I downloaded and tested I (in parameters I gave the auth to scan for dnla servers) and I can see my server :) thanks for the tip. Still nothing on TV


    Is your Drive in NTFS format ? I don't think you can set permissions on a NTFS drive.


    Can you show us your mapping configuration in Portainer ?

    I guess you want to see this?

  • Just to be sure, in Shared Folders on OMV, show us the absolute path (you can enable it by right clic > absoluth path), but everythong seems ok on the mapping. I'm also a beginner, so sorry to not help you better.


    You can switch OMV language to Italian if you want
