I have a Linksys 3200 that we use for our home WiFi network into which I've plugged a 1TB HDD. All our computers can access and play the videos stored on the HDD. Until just recently, so could my Nexus 7 using AndroXplorer Pro. It still shows all the files on the HDD (under Server files) but regardless of what video app I use (BSPlayer, DicePlayer, MX Player or RockPlayer2) I cannot get any of the videos to play. They will not load into any of the players regardless of the video format. Again, they all still play just fine on any our our PC's.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Not too familiar with AndroXplorer. I would suggest trying
ES File Explorer. Easily one of the top five apps for Android and free. There may be an issue with the way AndroXplorer is handling your smb. If ES doesn't work then it is probably a settings issue with your router and NAS.
There are many other variables here. but that is at least a start.
