Yes, my router has a DLNA media server but Sonos does not support that.
Coincidentally, my router is old and (only) supports SMBv1 which is what Sonos wants. However no Mac or Win10 PC will connect to that so it's useless as a hub and even getting files onto it was a challenge.

Unsurprisingly, there isn't a Plex server for Humax, though there is for a wide variety of NAS. It requires the server to be always on, which is why I wanted to use the humax, a bit of efficiency because that is always on anyway. Plus it streams out over the Internet and back to Sonos which is...

Strong advice. I had a NAS but it broke and the humax *looks* like a DLNA media server so I thought I'd have a go. After posting above I managed to copy some MP3 files to the music folder using USB, and they play on the humax, but Sonos can't see/catalogue them. Are you saying others have tried...
I would like to use the system as a hub for my home media files. Sonos and other playback devices.
I can copy MP3 files to the "Download" folder via FTP or SAMBA, but not to the "Music" folder (permission denied).
I set a password for the admin account, because I couldn't connect as anonymous...
