Media Server

The UPnP-AV media server can be used to share your media files (e.g. photos, music, videos) that are stored on the network drive with an Xbox 360, a PlayStation 3 video game console or other DLNA compatible clients that are connected to the same local network. Before you start, make sure both devices are connected to the same local network and both are turned on.

Xbox 360

  1. On your network drive, open the “Settings” menu, go to “Share Server” and select the “Media Service” tab. Make sure that the path for each of the folders is set to the correct directory where the corresponding media files are stored.

  2. On your Xbox 360, go to “media”, select “Music”, “Pictures” or “Videos” and press A to continue.

  3. Press X to change the source and select your network drive.

  4. Inside the shared folder, you can access your pictures (JPG), music (MP3) or videos (WMV), depending on which mode you are currently using.

PlayStation 3

  1. On your network drive, open the “Settings” menu, go to “Share Server” and select the “Media Service” tab. Make sure that the path for each of the folders is set to the correct directory where the corresponding media files are stored.

  2. On your PS3™, open the “Settings” menu, go to “Network Settings”, select “Media Server Connection” and enable it. This will allow the PS3 to detect the media server.

  3. When you turn on the PS3™, media servers on the same local network are automatically detected and a shortcut appears under each category for Photo, Music and Video.

  4. Select the network drive to access the media server and playback your photos (JPG), music (MP3) and videos (MPEG-1, MPEG-2).

iTunes

When a shared folder for the music directory on the media server has been set, the network drive will automatically appear on iTunes under shared devices and MP3 files can be played.

  1. On your network drive, open the “Settings” menu, go to “Share Server” and select the “Media Service” tab. Make sure that the path for the music folder is set to the directory where your MP3 music files will be stored.

  2. Upload all your MP3 music files to the folder you have set in the previous step. You can upload the files via SMB, WebDAV or FTP connection.

  3. On your network drive, go back to the “Media Service” menu. Under iTunes Playlist, click Build to scan for all the new MP3 music files and build the database for iTunes.

  4. Start iTunes and your music files will be available under “SHARED” devices.

Whenever you add or remove MP3 files to the music directory, click Build to refresh the database. If for some reasons, iTunes lists files that no longer exist or some files are missing, click Remove to clear the database and then click Build to build a new database.
