NAS SMB Tutorial


I am not an expert in NAS setup, my method is basic but works.

I have always used SMB with my Zidoo devices.

There are certainly better tutorials out there and I invite you to look on the internet for more information on all the possibilities Synology's DSM offers.

Thank you

----------

At the bottom of the page, there is a link to download the Zidoo tutorial which explains in addition to the SMB, the setting of your Synology with the NFS.

----------

let's start

Open "Synology Assistant" and start a search.

Your NAS will appear and double click on the one of your choice.

DSM of Synology will open

DSM is open, click on ''Panel Control''

[​IMG]

In Panel Control click on ''File Services

[​IMG]

Select SMB and click on ''Advanced Settings

[​IMG]

In this window you have the choice to select SMB1 or SMB 2, it is your choice knowing that SMB1 is not recommended anymore

[​IMG]

[​IMG]

Then click on the tab ''Advanced'', check the following options and that's it for this part

[​IMG]

Click on ''Share folder'' and ''Create''

[​IMG]

Enter the name you want to give to your folder and a description, you can also uncheck ''Enable Recycle Bin'', click on next a few times...

[​IMG]

...To this screen and click on ''Apply''

[​IMG]


Your sharing folder ''TV Show'' is created

Click on ''Edit'', ''Permissions'', ''Permissions'' and check the box as shown on the image ....

[​IMG]

it is finished

[​IMG]

By going to the panel ''Network'' of win10, our folder ''TV Show'' is here, it is perfect.

[​IMG]​

Then, you are free to modify / edit other options, there are many tutorials on the internet.

----------------

let's open HT4.0 and I will create a new source with the folder ''TV Show'' available on my NAS D418 Value.

[​IMG]

I select the ''TV Show'' folder

[​IMG]

I enter the Username and password I use for my Synology DSM

[​IMG]

I am in the folder ''TV Show'', it is empty, I did not put anything in it

[​IMG]


Here is my way of doing things, hoping that I have not wasted your time and that it will help you.


One last thing, I disable the ''Hibernation'' mode of my NAS

3 solutions to use the ''SAMBA SERVER'' option

3 solutions to have access to your Zidoo from your PC with the option ''SAMBA SERVER'' of your Zidoo device First part Here is my way to have the ZD_SAMBA available on my Network page. It's not recommended because of the lack of security as we use SMB1, but on my private network I don't think it's a problem, plus the performance would be better using SMB2... But so far all my video files and my test files like jellyfish are running without any problem. Open ''Windows features'' Go to ''SMB1.0/CIFS files sharing support'' and activate this function Reboot the computer Go to the ''Network'' page and do a refresh if needed ZD_SAMBA will appear and you will have access to your Zidoo and your storage units connected to it Obviously do not forget to activate the ''SAMBA SERVER'' in the options of Zidoo ​ ​ That's it & that's all 2nd part Here is another way to do it, it is proposed by Zido...

  I present you the HT4.0 Widgets, we don't talk much about them and yet they are very useful. If you want to have categories such as ''Cartoon'' or ''Family'' or ''Documentary'' that you have created yourself and you want to see them in the main page, Zidoo offers this possibility with its ''Widgets''. --------- Here is an example I created 2 folders ''Concert'' and ''Manga'' in one of my sources and I want to have on the main page of HT4.0. it's easy to do, c lick on the widget with the "+" symbol to add a new widget by choosing a folder in one of your sources. In my GIF below, I add the folder ''concert'' and ''Manga'' and 2 new icons appear with a logo which is not to my taste. --------- No problem, by pressing the key ''Menu'' of the remote a pop up appears allowing you to change icon. Here's how to change using the ...
