assuming you can mount it as a samba share (which i imagine you can) then you can mount it in settings - storage -network storage.

@tight pulsar i did it, i now added MyCloud Home 4TB as Media, Backup and Media drive

#

thanks for opening my eyes ahahah

#

now a part from auto backup on the external NAs

#

what else could i do with the media server? I have a WebOS Tv connected to Home Assistant

i am not totally sure how they integrate together. have a look around and if you get stuck open a new thread with specific questions
