I was wondering if I am missing a step here or maybe it just cannot be done. My current setup is
FreeNAS version 9.3 (has my movie collection)
PC's - Windows 7 and 10, access FreeNAS to watch movies using Kodi
Been great. But I wanted to see if I can have my amplifier access music on the FreeNAS. Here is what I did and what I have
FreeNAS - I added a folder called Music and I just copied a few albums in to it to try this. It is set to everyone permissions
Amplifier - Marantz SR5007 connected to LAN.
Now reading the Marantz manual it just states that it should scan for shared files, how and what way? nothing says anything about this.
If I go to Windows 7 or 10 and share my Windows Media Library, the Marantz sees it and can playback the music. But my wife and I want to centralize all our music to the FreeNAS and instead of using the Windows machine having to be on to play back music, we'd rather have the FreeNAS store it, have the Marantz access it and then play them back.
So I tried and the Marantz does not see the FreeNAS box. Is there something else I need in order to do this? Or is it not possible?
Thanks
