Reading network files with a Xiaomi Mi Box S Android TV 4K

Hello,

I acquired a Xiaomi Mi Box S Android TV 4K and I would like it to access all the resources of my home network.

My network:
1 SFR Box + 1 NAS (QNAP TS230) + 2 PCs + 1 MED800D3X player with hard drive + Mi Box S.
All network elements are connected via wired mode (RJ45)

My problem:

Playing with VLC installed on the Mi Box S, the multimedia contents (photos, music, and movies) present on the NAS hard drive and the MED800D3X player.
I have not been able to configure the "Local Network" section in VLC.
If anyone has an idea...
Thank you
Jean

    Hello,
    unless I'm mistaken, VLC has never set up the network; it's the operating system that should do it, Android in your case.
    Moreover, a TV box should be able to read multimedia files via UPnP without going through VLC
    NAS devices can also natively stream via UPnP.
