Like Julius Caesar's Gaul, all moOde users seem to be divided into three parts---those who don't use a Synology NAS, those who use one and have no difficulty connecting to it, and those who try to use one but have endless difficulties connecting to it.
After several years of trying to help parties of the third part, I still don't see a common denominator to be addressed. I don't own the product. As an experiment, I spun up a virtual machine running a somewhat recent version of Synology DSM and had no trouble connecting from various releases of moOde.
Over the years, I've spun up a number of other server implementations and had good luck with them too, including a trial version of JRiver Media Center, full-up NAS systems like OpenMediaVault and FreeNAS, UPnP/DLNA-focused Linux add-ons like MinimSever and miniDLNA (now known as ReadyMedia), and traditional Linux NFS and Samba servers. Of course, moOde itself uses Samba and miniDLNA services.
There's still a bunch I haven't played with (Ampache, Kodi, and Plex come to mind) but I don't envision a specific "moOde problem" with any.
As an aside, for a variety of reasons, I stay away from all discussions of Windows 10, either its native services or third-party products which run on it.
Just my two cents worth.

Kent
