Xb1 and Nas to stream movies

[Zippeyrude]

Is there a way to connect a network drive to the XB1 and play vids on media player?

A recent update has added DLNA support to the Xbox One so network streaming is supported via this. (not 100% sure if this has gone live to everyone yet as I'm on the dashboard preview program but if it hasn't it's not far away).

Yeah its live now download the app media player preview on the xb1 and your good to go ;-)
(don't know why its still called preview when its live)

I downloaded media player and it found the public folders on my laptop but I couldn't see how to connect a nas.
How did you guys get to that?

need a DNLA server on your NAS you can find your public folder cos windows media player acts as a DNLA on your laptop. Plex is the usual choice here but don't know what you can run on your NAS.

I run Mezzmo on my windows box and its great ;-) but doubt you get that on your NAS
