    Go to the Pli Wiki at .

    You will find the answer in the section, Getting the most out of your DM box with PLiŽ.

    There's lots of other interesting stuff there too.

    on the 7025 - did you download the mount manager plugin? If not, simply do it and follow your nose.

    I bet ya haven't done the simplist of things.

    When you bring up your dm through your PC, click stream. Go to change settings of your IP. I can have my DM IP set correctly, but the settings via Gui are always wrong first time. So change the IP address to that of your PC. This will still allow a mount to another IP if required.

    EG: my pc might be 192.168.0.10
    DM might be 192.168.0.11
    and maybe a NAS drive could be 192.168.0.12

    In the gui, I put 192.168.0.10

    Then I create a folder, say called Movies.
    I then, most importantly allow sharing of that folder.
    I then can mount via the Gui which I prefer, as it's quicker. I'll select media/hdd for this


    Once I have success, then any harddrive should mount (as long as you have shared the rights correctly)
    I'll select media/server1 and so on.

    It is explained in all the tuts, but I find the easiest mistake is the IP in the Gui prevents a mount

    Thanks for the info but i have tried all of that on my dm7000 with the gui but not on the 7025 i just used the remote as i couldnt see how to do it through the gui on the 7025 if it is even possible
