Launch you R_volution Player. Then, go to Explorer.
Then, press MENU and go to "New Netowk Folder".
In the "New Netowk Folder" dialog, perform the following steps:
Set the "Server" field to the server IP address. E.g. "192.168.1.2 ". This can also be the name of the device. For example RVOLUTIONNAS. The disadvantage of using the device IP address is that it can vary if the address has not been set as a fixed IP address. The disadvantage of using the device name is that if two devices have the same name, you will access one of them randomly.
When connecting to a Windows PC, the required IP address can be found in the network connection properties on a Windows PC. You can also find it by pressing the "Windows + R" keys, then type "cmd". In the command prompt, then type "ipconfig" and validate with ENTER.
The IP address will be displayed.
Set the "Folder" field to the name of a shared folder (having proper access rights) on an SMB server. E.g. "VIDEO".
When connecting to a Windows PC, the name of the shared folder can be found in the properties of a folder on a Windows PC.
The name of a shared folder which is exposed to the network (so-called network name) may differ from its name on a hard drive; you should use the network name.
If the SMB server requires user name and password, specify those values in respective fields (in most cases those are not required).
