3.6 Media Server

The UPnP media server can be used to share your photos, music files and videos that are stored

on the network drive in the

Public folder with an Xbox 360, a PlayStation 3 video game console or

any other DLNA compliant UPnP-AV client that is connected to the same local network. Before you

start, make sure both devices are connected to the same network and both are turned on.

The UPnP-AV media server supports streaming of the following file formats:

Pictures: JPG, PNG, BMP

Music: MP3, WMA, WAV

Video: AVI, MPEG, MPG, WMV, DAT, DivX, VOB, MOV

Note

Playback support for the various file formats also depends on the UPnP-AV client (e.g. PS3 or

Xbox 360). For more details, please refer to the documentation of your game console or digital

media adapter (DMA).
