Not near it at the moment to tell you exactly, but from the top of my head... you add an RSS feed under Broadcasting, and it'll then list in contents alongside it.

Found the manual online so took a screenshot of the relevent bits..

that was ridiculously simple... just couldn't find the right section in the manual! I spent too long in the downloads application and was getting nowhere! thanks

How does this compare?

Been looking at getting this, is this the one to go for? Will it take 2.5" HD?

This is the same one that we're discussing here..

.. it won't take a 2.5" drive.

Well.. it's about the same price I paid including shipping from CCLOnline so it's a good price.

Why not .. its just a Sata connector right ?

It just might not sit properly in the box without an adapter or some tie wraps :pac:

2.5 to 3.5 Drive Bay

What are iBood like to buy from? I have a vague recollection of some bad reviews, but it may have been a long time ago.. (It may have been in my head).

Basq · 17-08-2012 12:09PM

It'll probably work with an adapter but what I meant was it doesn't accept a 2.5" HDD outta the box.

Allyall · 17-08-2012 12:16PM

Oh..
Well, thought i'd post that, in case it may have been any help.

I see iBood is an extra €12.95 P&P and says it won't be shipped until 29th of August.
So it won't even leave their warehouse for another 12 days? That's a bit daft.
It's €63.50 on Amazon. It may be worth the extra tenner, as i don't really fancy waiting nearly two weeks. Or is that something iBood just say to cover themselves?

Works out as €47.45 total which is pretty good. Didn't buy it though as I'm short on funds

I have been trying to figure out what I need to do to organise myself.I have 2 different HD's so planned on getting this NAS to centralise everything. I dont have an apple tv and might buy a AT2 if I can get one on adverts but can I get atv3, use a vpn and get US netflix and use the NAS to access my current collection on my TV

You can use any generation of AppleTV (have used an ATV and ATV2) with this - jailbreak it and use XBMC to play anything off the NAS box!

Netflix only works with ATV2 and ATV3 though.

I dont think you can jailbreak ATV3 yet, this is why the ATV 2 goes for a premium.

Can I install XBMC on the NAS?

You don't need an adapter, the cable fits fine.

It just the drive won't be secured in the bay, not really a big deal unless your moving it around the place.

I have a 2.5 in my Desktop right now, didn't need an adapter or any of that at all.

Look again... amazon states: Usually dispatched within 3 - 5 weeks

Can anyone recommend a 2tb or 3tb drive for this nas... would the WD green ones do fine or is there something a little better or cheaper out there?

Also, if you are getting a second same size 2 or 3tb hard drive to plug into the sata port on the back of this for raid, what sort of drive would be best to get? an internal in some sort of sata cabled enclosure or is there such thing as a sata cabled external hard drive i should be looking at.

Thanks.

I found this , if you click compatibility list tab, it shows some tested and verified working hard drives.

I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on this myself.

Basq · 28-08-2012 12:07PM

Yep, both these 3TB HDD's are listed as compatible.

Western Digital Caviar 3TB SATA 6 GB/s 64MB Cache 3.5 inch OEM Internal Hard Drive Green - £128 (ex VAT Difference)
Seagate 3TB 3.5 inch 7200RPM 64MB Cache SATA3 Hard Drive - £114.99 (ex VAT Difference)

ED E · 28-08-2012 12:17PM

SATA is SATA, I suspect pretty much any drive you throw at it will work.

Access · 28-08-2012 12:39PM

Thanks for those links lads,

Im looking forward to it arriving now.

I had spotted that WD green on amazon... looks like the best place/price to buy so.

What should i do about getting a second 3tb drive or raid mirroring on the nas?

Should i just buy a second WD green and (correct me if i am wrong here...) buy a sata cable and external case for the drive and just plug it into the nas via the rear sata port?

Or would i be just better off to buy an external usb 3tb and plug in via usb on the nas?

Sorry for the questions!

I was previously accessing my media on XBMC using just a normal external USB 1TB drive,

So my Movies would be sourced from F:/Movies/Whatever Movie.avi
TV would be sourced from F:/TV/Whatever TV Program/S01E01

So now i have the NSA310 and all my 1TB media on it in "videos" folder on the NSA310, (NSA310/videos/Movies etc.) i am a bit confused on where to point XBMC to find them now?

There seems to be a load of options in editing the source folders on XBMC - should i be pointing at uPNP devices or add network location or a mapped drive?

Any help on this would be great.

Basq · 08-09-2012 06:02PM

See here!

Map an SMB share to the IP address of the Zyxel and the folder 'video'.

e.g Server Name should be 192.168.1.47, or whatever your Zyxel IP is.
Folder should be 'video'
Username and password is Admin user and password for Zyxel AFAIK

Anybody got Broadcatching working sucessfully with a kick ass torrents RSS feed? When I add torrents to my feed they show up in my zycel broadcatching but I got errors when I left them overnight to download. Don't think it even downloaded the torrent file... Looking for this or something similar where I can just add torrents to a feed instead of having to download torrent files and add them manually to the download app.

Yep, same here... had 3 different ones i had added to the automated rss feed on kick ass and they all failed overnight. Tried adding one manually to the zyxel after this and it started straight away

FastFullBack · 26-09-2012 12:37AM

Just got one of these. One thing I'd like to do is login to the admin page from my Android tablet. Each time I do this though I get taken to a ' browse my nsa share' default page for mobile browser page . Ive tried several different browsers and and always have user agent set to desktop . Any ideas?
