Hello,
I've been searching various threads endlessly for the past few days but still can't seem to work this out. I'm fairly competent with configuring settings etc. but sometimes (most evident in this case) require an idiot guide.
Okay so I have a WD My Book Live Duo NAS attached to my router (I have the routers external WAN address) and simply want to stream my content over the internet to XBMC (on my Sony Xperia Tablet Z) whilst I'm away from home. Data consumption is not an issue here btw.
1. Does anyone have any experience with this WD NAS or know if I can I connect directly to it via XBMC or can connection only occur outside of XBMC using one of WD's Web Interface protocols? I have tried contacting WD who keep pointing me to their android mycloud app and can't seem to grasp what I'm asking.
2. In either eventuality, I would be grateful if someone could point me in the direction of a step by step guide as to how to configure XBMC to access content held on a NAS remotely over the internet using a WAN address?
Apologies to anyone but we all gotta start somewhere.
Thanks
