it's cool i managed to map a drive in the end by following these instructions https://www.stuffaboutcode.com/2012/05/raspberry-pi-connect-nas-windows-share.html

Got media center working quite well now on the pi with connection to my qnap nas. Only thing I'm finding now is using JRiver panel or gizmo, it struggles with playing films, and also i am finding that media center seems to just quit unexpectedly sometimes. Not sure why, maybe its pi performance related

Video via panel and gizmo require transcoding video on the server (there's no original format passtrhough). That will not work on a Raspberry Pi, it just doesn't have the grunt for real-time transcoding. Pi's aren't really a good solution for video yet (even as a server), they're mostly useful for audio endpoints.

::) ah right ok thanks. well to be fair, it's very impressive what it can do for music considering the size of the library compare to the small size of the pi ;D. Thinking about it i'm pretty sure most of time it has closed unexpectedly its been when i've tried to play a video.
brains4eva:
hmm actually i'm still getting the problem with jriver just closing for no reason sometimes. It generally works ok but on the odd day i'll try to connect and as jriver has unexpected close i can't access through gizmo or panel unless i go to the pi and start up jriver again. anyone else experience something similar? I am definitely only using for music now. (after thought.... although the films are still in the library im just not playing them via the pi any more, thinking i should probably in the first instance remove those folders from the library will try that tonight, also could try reinstalling j river)
