Media Server Overview
My Book Live Duo Personal Cloud Storage device is designed to serve as your home's
central media hub. It enables you to stream photos, music, and videos to your home
entertainment center and/or other computers on your home network.
The DLNA Server searches for all the media stored in all shares on the My Book Live Duo
connected to your home network. If you do not want DLNA to display specific media files,
place them in a private share that is set to disable media sharing.
The server is pre-set, so you can just transfer your multimedia content to the respective
shared Public folders (e.g., Photos, Music, Video) on your My Book Live Duo device and you
are ready to stream and view content on your home entertainment center, game consoles
(for example, Xbox 360™, PlayStation

services such as ITunes. For more information, visit
