The wife thought it would be a nice idea to upgrade our old 1999 Pioneer RPTV to a new Vizio 55" Smart TV with WiFi.

1st all I love the picture, hate the sound it is nothing like the older 37in Vizio we have in the bedroom. It did sorta force me to hook up a tuner and speakers for better sound (already had it).

Now my question is this... Is there a way to get the Media App to see mapped network drives? Google just brings me info on the DLNA stuff...

The thing is the media server has the OS drive and the Media is on separate drives. Those drives are all Shared and Mapped to the HTPCs we have. The Media App on the Vizio only sees the Root of the server drive and none of the others...

Not crazy about installing software I know nothing about to get the TV to see the shared drives... I'm thinking this TV isnt as smart as they say LOL


All other devices see the network and everything with no additional software installed.

Anyone know more about this than me? for the time being I just hooked the HTPC to the TV and called it a day as it works well... but I thought if i used the TVs WiFi and Media app i could delete the HTPC altogether....
