Failure to Auto Configure Through the Roku

[Sam Mammen]

Hello,

Looking for some help.

I'm receiving "Failure to Auto Configure..." from the roku. I'm using a WD My book Live (with NAS) on my network where i want MyMedia to grab the movies files. In the server configuration window, I changed the Music, Video, Photo path (Z:\Shared Music), along with the Server IP, (192.168.1.86) but not the server port. 

What am i doing wrong? Is the path wrong, and does it need to start with Public\\192.168....?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sam, I used to have a similar setup.  I was running mymedia server on XP box, which had access to a password protected share on a NAS (WD world edition).  I was able to reference the config for each Pictures, Videos,and Music as seen below.  Since the mymedia server (xp box) had access to the NAS, I was able to serve up the media from NAS to Server, and then deom server to the roku.  I was never able to get the NAS to stream data directly to the roku.  I hope this might help.  Have a great New Years!

Thanks Ash. 

It hard to believe that the roku can't configure to the NAS??!! Would you know if Plex would work better then MyMedia, or even getting an Apple TV (jailbroken) instead of a roku?
