Sure, it would be great to actually serve them directly from the WD My Cloud itself, but by doing it this way, you can use the power of your PC, which is more than likely more powerful than the WD My Cloud, for transcoding the files, as well as maintain your warranty. If it doesn’t work right away, you may have to also reboot your WD My Cloud.įollowing these steps, I can now successfully serve files from my WD My Cloud drive to the Serviio service on my PC. Choose the directory on the drive you want to share from and select it and add it to your library. Just click on “Add Local” and browse to “Network” and then your WDM圜loud.

Then choose Start after it has stopped.Īfter you have restarted the service, you can now access the shares on your drive in the Library section of Serviio. Next, right-click the Serviio service and choose Stop. Next, choose “This Account” and set it up for the user account you created earlier. In the properties, go to the “Log On” tab. Next, go to the Serviio service and right-click and select Properties. Next, open your Services menu from your control panel, or go to the run prompt and type “services.msc” and press enter. Once verified it works, you can then lower the rights of the account and see if it still works or not. It may work without this option, but I recommend doing it to make sure there are no problems.

I also gave this account administrator rights.

It’s a little extra work, but worth it, since you do not void the warranty on the WD My Cloud.Īfter installing Serviio on your PC, follow these steps to allow Serviio to access the shares on your drive.įirst, create a user account on your PC, that has the exact same name and password as used on the WD My Cloud. I just set up my Serviio which is installed on my PC, so it could access the shares on the WD My Cloud. You do not necessarily have to set up Serviio on the device itself.
