How to Connect XBMC Linux to Synology Diskstation NAS @ OCModShop

I will admit that I'm pretty green when it comes to XBMC but have followed the project since its Xbox roots many moons ago.  These days you can get XBMC on almost anything including  Android based tablets and your standard Windows computer.

Given that XBMC can access streaming services you may wonder, "why hook it up to a NAS?".  Well the roots of the project came from accessing media anywhere, including a standard NAS sitting across the room.

One problem you may face with an XBMC Linux installation (or appliance running XBMC) is connecting to and scraping your media that resides on a NAS.  You have to do a little tweak to your Diskstation to get XBMC (and some other appliances) to work.

Seems like a good thing.
