Accessing Network Drives and Access to The Player

This media player features a Samba client (SMB) to explore and playback your videos, pictures and 

music, located on your local network (NAS, computers, ...). The SMB Server is activated by default. You 

can access your media player entering 

\\R_VOLUTION

 in the explorer of your computer or using the media 

player IP address as following: 

\\192.168.1.15

 (for instance). Then, enter 

guest 

as login and password.

R_share

you to access your video, pictures and music content, located on internal HDDs (or local drive connected 

in USB to the media player) from another R_volution player through your local network. You can
