Got this yesterday and I have struggled with everything to to with it. From the initial set up where instructions were minimal to say the least. Now that it is set up and mapped video, music, pictures copied across. Installed DS video, Audio, photo app on my tablet. So far, most of what I have done has been with the massive help from fellow member wuyanxu, without it this thing would have been through the window. So far: Music streams seamlessly to my tablet via the app. Photos seemed to be a bit of a mess so uninstalled the app as not important. Videos can be seen in the Synology control panel file station but not in the app. Installed VLC on PC files do not play what I have is a black browser with the VLC cone in the centre. I am thinking that the Synology is way to complex for me and am looking for a, hopefully, simpler alternative. Desperate for help here.
PS: On trying to sign up to the Synology forums I get this. Your IP 94.195.59.*** has been blocked because it is blacklisted. For details please see http://www.sorbs.net/lookup.shtml?94.195.59.102. Your IP 94.195.59.*** has been blocked because it is blacklisted. For details please see http://www.barracudacentral.org/lookups/ip-reputation?ip_address=94.195.59.102. An entry on the blacklist may have several reasons: 1. You are a well-known spammer. 2. Last time a well-known spammer was using the dynamic IP address which you got from your ISP (Internet Service Provider), your e-mail address or the username you have choosen. 3. Your ISP is well-known for a lot of spamming customers and is not fighting against spammers enough. Which is pretty much the final nail in the Synology coffin.
Don't give up now.... Once you get everything setup, it will be much much better than a normal external drive. Not sure why your IP is blocked, but best not to display it on a public forum.
