Try the Shareport apps to see if they work?

I have played movies from the 505 - I use a DLNA-capable player. The 505 doesn't share storage using CIFS/SMB.

I have not heard of "Shareport Plus" - what is that?  D-Link provides a "Shareport" app for iOS and Android, but you can use Goodplayer or similar instead. VLC on a PC or Mac will do it too.
