Add Content to the Media Library
If you did not accept the automatic Media Library creation when you started your Intel Viiv software for the
first time, you will need to create a Media Library before you can see media on your TV.
You can include new media to your existing Media Library at any time. The media is stored on your hard disk
or any networked device. If you download new music or record a new television show, you can include it in
your Media Library. If you also subscribe to a service that allows you to download or purchase songs or video
and enjoy it on your PC, you can include these songs and videos in your Media Library.
NOTE
The Intel Viiv Media Library does not create a new copy of your media; it only provides a link to
existing media.
Add media already on your PC
The easiest way to include media already on your PC in the Media Library is to add the new media files into
folders that are already included in the Media Library such as the Music or Video folders.
If you accepted the default Media Library creation, all of your media files in the following folders on this PC
were included: Music, Pictures, Videos, Public Music, Public Pictures, Public Videos and Recorded TV. When
you add or remove media files from these locations, the media library updates its index automatically.
The Intel Viiv Media Library does not move or copy any media. It only reads the media in the identified folders
and indexes it for access throughout the home network.
If there are multiple users of one Intel Viiv processor technology PC who log in using their own user accounts,
all users will need to complete the Create Media Library wizard in order to add their personal files to the Media
Library. Other folders on the PC can be added to the Media Library through the Create Media Library wizard as
well as shared folders on other networked PC that the user has permission to access.
Users with administrator privileges can:
•
add devices
•
grant devices access to the Media Library
•
start and stop the Media Library
•
rebuild the Media Library
Add a new folder to be monitored by the library
You can add more folders at any time to your existing Media Library using the Media Library wizard.
For folders to be included in your media library, be sure to set up the folders to be shared with others. See the
Windows documentation for instructions.
NOTE about Sharing
When setting up folders for sharing on a networked PC, make sure password protection is turned off
for those folders you want to share. To do so, go to Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network
and Sharing Center.
1 Start the Intel Viiv software and select Media Library from the main window.
