Re: Use Iphone as a Network Media Player

I am unfamiliar with the QNAP drives, but it doesn't seem to have either a UPnP media server, an SMB server or some similar service running. Maybe you can run ORB somewhere, which could (a) pull your media off the QNAP on demand and (b) stream to your iPhone via HTTP.

Have you checked the iPhone community for this?

Qnap supports smb, UPnP Media Server (with built-in TwonkyMedia Server).

I shall also have a look there.

If your drive runs the Twonkymedia server, the question is more what your iPhone can or can't, is it not? Unless you can install ORB on your Qnap drive of course.
