Play Video from a Network Share

To add a shared network file folder:
1.
From the files browser, click
Network
Shares
The
Network
Shares
dialog opens.
Figure 96.
Network Share Configuration
2.
In the
Network
Path:
field, enter the path of the shared folder.
Network
Path:
(required) Server IP address (or server name) and share name format
depending on protocol:
CIFS/SMB:
\\<server>\<sharedfolder>
\\<
server
>\<
sharedFolder
>\<
optionalSubFolder
>
NOTE:
Microsoft Windows machines expect the backslash (
\
) character as the
separator. In most cases, the forward slash (
/
) character can be used as an
alternative, but the separator character must be applied consistently throughout.
NFS:
<
server:>/<sharedFolder>
<
server:>/<sharedFolder>/<optionalSubFolder>
NOTES:
•
Network shares supports both IP address and host name path options. For
example, if the host name in figure 96 is "server" and the IP address of the
server is
192.168.127.101
. The
Network
Path:
name is then:
//
192.168.127.101/sharedFolder
.
•
When using a server host name, the DNS suffix should be included.
Example:
hostname.domain.com
.
