Then I can load and run whatever apps I want. I prefer a ‘dumb TV’, and a cheap android media box to provide the smart bit. I do not like ‘smart TVs’, because they only have a limited set of apps they can run, and those apps are not maintained. If it accesses a DLNA server, it cannot use these scrapers, and has to rely on embedded artwork, so is not as pretty. If you use Kodi to access an SMB file server, it can also provide a very pretty UI, by accessing various online media metadata sources, providing artwork and screen backdrops (it uses ‘scrapers’ to do this). The Plex media client does give a very pretty UI. Maybe i try Twonky DLNA Media Server with: LG Smart Share, and Kodi Media Player on my Android Phone. If you are having a specific Plex issue then you should search through or post in the Plex support forums. The User Manual also explains how to connect a USB drive to the My Cloud’s USB port to expand the storage on the My Cloud (or use as a backup target for My Cloud Dashboard Safepoint / Backup).

Then you have to enable Media Serving on each Share that has media you wish to stream.

If you have a “smart TV”, and it is connected to the same local network as the My Cloud, you can use the default DLNA media streaming app on the TV (most have a default app) to stream content from a DLNA media server like Twonky. You would use a separate app (typically called a “DLNA client”) on your TV or mobile device to stream content from Twonky. … (about Twonky, I mean: i don’t know how to running it on my TV, is just shown DLNA device on TV) So, can you help me to setup M圜loud like this? And i can un-join 1TB HDD for removable device again if necessary.(I mean: over 2TB for entertainment, and 500GB for data sharing on M圜loud) I have decided that: using a lot of storage in M圜loud for Movies+Musics, and a little HDD box for sharing M圜loud.
