Did you try some other DLNA server on NAS? I do not know what is the situation with Zyxel, but on my QNAP I can run Plex, Serviio, Twonky...

I have have been meaning to install Plex but haven't had time to research and do it. I also bought a newer enclosure NSA 325 v2 but don't have drives yet (2x 4 TB). I know that one definitely supports Plex.

I have had my 2014 LG 42LB6300 for several years now, but one thing that bothers me the most is that I am not able to fast forward or rewind when I am watching movies (DiVX) from my Zyxel NSA221 NAS (DLNA support). It works perfectly from my 2011 LG 55LW6500 which does not have WebOS.

I also works when playing movies from USB stick or HDD, so it must have something to do with the XFS (or EXT4) filesystem.

In addition the TV will sometimes just stop the movie halfway though and start loading the next movie. I don't think it is an issue with my network since I have Gigabit throughout the house.

The folder structure in Smart Share works. 

Do the following:

1. Click ALL on the left side of the screen.

2. On right hand side, in the upper part, now you see three icons."View Type", "Device Selection" and  "Device connector". 

3. Click on the first one from the left. This is the "View Type" icon. You will see List view and Folder view as options. 

4. Chose "Folder view"

5. Now you have the folder view. All the sources are shown in the main window. If you click on a source you will see the folder structure. On the right hand side you have only two icons now.  

 

Here is a picture showing the step 5. http://screencast.com/t/CTENsDz8 With 1 is shown the first step where you have to click "All". . 

 

Enjoy!

this just shows the devices as folders but not the media in folders. I see that you have a Zyxel NSA 325. I have a NSA 211 and I have a Video folder and then Movies and Series and within  Series I have a folder for each series and then each season. When I browse on SmartShare I see all of my videos in one long list including all the children's shows and movies which I do not want to see when I am looking for a specific grown-up movie or episode.

to me the WebOS TVs are a big step backward, at least when it comes to SmartShare and DLNA support.

I have a 55LW6500 (2011) and it works like a charm. I can browse all the media on my NAS by folder names Video -> Series -> XYZ Season 01 or Video -> Movies -> XYZ and I am able to fast forward through a movie, none of which works in WebOS.

SmartShare on my 42LB6300 (2014) shows all my video content in one huge list, all series, movies, adult, children, documentaries in one list. Why can't I browse by folder ???

I need another TV and I always liked LG but unless this is fixed I will not get a LG.
