QNAP 210 NAS Moving/Adding the QMultimedia folder

By design my QNAP 210 Turbo Multimedia service requires you to put all your files in the default share QMULTIMEDIA

This is not really want i wanted as i created other shares already for my photos and videos etc..

In order to workaround this limitation you can simply add a link inside the QMULTIMEDIA folder to your other shares. This is as simple as connecting to the QNAP NAS with WINSCP and browsing the /share/HDA_DATA/Qmultimedia folder. Then right click and click Add new link. Then Enter a friendly name in the top field and the path to the required folder in the bottom field.
You can add as many links as you like.

Now when you browse from Ipad or Iphone or whatever media player you have you can now browse all the NAS content.
