When I go to http://PublicIP:8200/rootDesc.xml in a safari on my iPhone on the 3G network then I get a blank white page which may mean it sees the xml too.

these two xml file are the same? why it be blank?

when the server was detected in the local, click the server detail button to see steps how to add it manually.

hi, i'm new to the whole nas system and having some troubles setting up the manual address for mobile access. i have a synology ds213j, managed to access it from outside my home using the synology app "ds video" and streamed videos to my iphone. But using the airplayer app i cant connect to my server. ive tried several ways to enter the address manually but none of them seems to be right. i also opened up several ports and basically followed everything:

"19.Synology NAS
http://ip-adress:50001/desc/device.xml, also need to port mapping 50002 for streaming"

Could someone please show me how to enter the information using this example of a ddns hostname: example.synology.me

And fyi: i can autodetect my server when my iphone is connected to my wifi network and its possible for me to stream videos.

1) port mapping 50001 50002 in your route
2)input http://DDNS HOSTNAME:50001/desc/device.xml in airplayer
