Iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive Cloud Edition

[jievie]

Dear

I recently bought an 'Iomega Home Media Network Hard Drive Cloud Edition' and it would be nice if I could stream the music on this nas to my playbook. Is there a way doing this via the SonicAir app?


Thank you!

Kind regards

Hello,

I have the IOMega Home Media NAS as well and am successfully streaming from it and other sources via Subsonic. I also use the PlayBook, usually through the SonicAir app, but also through the web interface.

Here is my general setup:

Ubuntu server as the main media server (MediaBox)
Ubuntu server as a Subsonic Server (SubsonicBox)
IOMega NAS (ArchiveBox)

On the MediaBox, I have a series of shares setup for Video, Music, Photos, etc. On the ArchiveBox, I have a similar setup, and use this to store long term video etc.

On the SubsonicBox, I have the network shares mounted as local folders, for example

/media/ArchiveMusic --> \\Archivebox\Music
/media/ArchiveVideo --> \\Archivebox\Video
/media/NewMusic --> \\MediaBox\Music

... etc

This way, the Subsonic server can see everything as if it was local, and indexes it all and allows me to stream anything that is within my local network. As I add additional storage sources, I just add new local shares.

If you are running Windows as your server, it becomes a little more difficult, but you might try the Windows command "MKLINK" which seems to indicate that it creates a symbolic link and from what I can see online is capable of handling network shares as well.

Let me know if you need help with your setup.
