Nemo and DLNA shared folders

Hi there,

I'm hoping someone can clear something up for me that I can't seem to figure out after spending a couple of hours on the WIKI.

On my home network I have a Synology NAS with 4 shared folders (video, documents, pictures, music)
My Windows and Mac machines can see these shared folders in Windows Explorer and Finder, I simply click them and I am taken to their contents on the NAS.

Similarly my LG WebOS TV can see these shares and access them without issue.

On all of my Linux machines (Arch/Ubuntu/Debian) that use Nemo or Files as the file manager these shares do not show up.
I am able to connect to the NAS by specifying it's address on the network and entering in my username/password, but why should I have to do this? I can understand if I was trying to access a directory on the NAS that wasn't shared, but these are shared and should not require me to enter in a username/password.

Can someone clear this up for me?

Thank you.

Re: Nemo and DLNA shared folders

Probably because Nemo isn't a DLNA client.

What other protocols do these shares use? It won't just be DLNA.
