Hi,
Not too sure which area of the forum you would rather this be posted in so I've put it here.
Firstly, some background into my current setup:
A draytek vigor 2820 router
24 port gigabit switch (Server rack/basement)
8 port gigabit switch (room with PCH)
32" tv connected via hdmi
logitech Z5500's connected via TOSlink
5 * Lacie 1TB Ethernet Space Drives (older non-hibernate models)(server rack/basement)
1 * Lacie 2TB USB Drive connected to a USB LAN Server (runs its own samba/nfs)(server rack/basement)
1 * PCH200 with 1.5TB HDD formatted by the NMT installer to ext2
In another room I also have an Icy Box IB-MP305A-B HD. Anyway, this device is connected to the same switch that the PCH is (which also connects all the devices in the basement) and will happily stream every file from any of the network drives and shares after configuring the shares using such a command on its gui: //192.168.1.15/openshare/media/video. This includes jpegs/ISO/vob/mkv + more. This box see's every file on the disk and will either play it or state invalid file. It plays all my video files fine - which are mostly ISO/VOB/Mkv. I bought the PCH C200 to have as an upgrade to this in another room, when I select the network icon it shows all the drives I have and will let me navigate to them. I select the drive (which has a disk icon next to it in the initial browser screen), then videos, i am then presented with all videos or folder, if I select all videos it shows all the media types recognised, but if i select folder it shows them in the folders, I am then missing some folders that I know are on the drive - because they only contain an ISO file. Any folder that does not contain one of the media files it has flagged up as being a media file does not show. This means I cannot navigate and find any ISO files that I want to play like I can on the Icybox media player. Why is this and is there a way to browse the folders how they actually are - not just how the PCH interprets the media? Before buying this product I saw that there was support for ISO files - so I assumed it would play them just as well as any other files.
As I've seen others ask on other threads - I create all my ISO's thhrough AnyDVD and Imgburn OR Dvdshrink. I've never had any issues playing these files on any machine or device before and they ARE in the correct ISO standard.
I have also tried adding a network share to the PCH using the setup menu but have been unsuccessful. I have tried:
smb://DOT15MOVIE/openshare/movie
smb://DOT15MOVIE/openshare/movie/
nfs://DOT15MOVIE:/openshare/movie
nfs://DOT15MOVIE:/openshare/movie/
http://DOT15MOVIE/openshare/movie
http://DOT15MOVIE/openshare/movie/
It lets me add these as a share but then when I browse I get an error to check that the server is running or that the share folder no longer exist.
There are no permissions needed to access these shares, but I have tried with and without.
I have included a log that shows what the Lacie NAS drive is doing when it starts up so you can see the services it is running:
All drives besides the Lacie 2TB one are formatted as ext3, the 2TB disk is formatted as NTFS. The Lacie boxes I cannot modify the program running on those or access it - so I cannot make any changes there - nor should I need to - the icybox does just fine from it.
I like the menu screens and some of the extra features on the PCH C200 but I am becoming infuriated at trying to load ALL my files from my NAS drives - ISO's make up about half of my collection so I need to be able to play them, I cannot move all the files onto the PCH as there wouldn't be enough space (and I don't want to).
Can someone please advise me of a solution to my problem or how to be able to browse these drives as they actually are using the PCH please?
Also - another problem I have encountered is that on the PCH when there is a list of vob files it only plays each one and then repeats it. I would prefer it if it was again like the icybox and automatically went onto the next file in sequence. Is there currently an option for this or would it be a firmware change that would/could be made into an option in the preferences menu?
Yet another - one or two of the VOB files are menu screens that you would usually encounter on a DVD player - I can't use my remote to navigate around these menu's - is there a reason for this.
As I said above, I tend to create all my files via AnyDVD and Dvd-shrink OR Anydvd and Imgburn

All drives besides the Lacie 2TB one are formatted as ext3, the 2TB disk is formatted as NTFS. The Lacie boxes I cannot modify the program running on those or access it - so I cannot make any changes there - nor should I need to - the icybox does just fine from it.
I like the menu screens and some of the extra features on the PCH C200 but I am becoming infuriated at trying to load ALL my files from my NAS drives - ISO's make up about half of my collection so I need to be able to play them, I cannot move all the files onto the PCH as there wouldn't be enough space (and I don't want to).
Can someone please advise me of a solution to my problem or how to be able to browse these drives as they actually are using the PCH please?
Also - another problem I have encountered is that on the PCH when there is a list of vob files it only plays each one and then repeats it. I would prefer it if it was again like the icybox and automatically went onto the next file in sequence. Is there currently an option for this or would it be a firmware change that would/could be made into an option in the preferences menu?
Yet another - one or two of the VOB files are menu screens that you would usually encounter on a DVD player - I can't use my remote to navigate around these menu's - is there a reason for this.
As I said above, I tend to create all my files via AnyDVD and Dvd-shrink OR Anydvd and Imgburn
