NSA streams files to DLNA-compliant media clients or computers using iTunes.
The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a group of personal computer and
electronics companies that works to make products compatible in a home
network.
• Publish shares to let others play the contained media files.
• The media server is a convenient way to share files you download using the
broadcatching service (see
).
• Hardware-based media clients like the DMA-2500 can also play the files. See
for the supported multimedia file formats.
Note: Anyone on your network can play the media files in the published shares. No
user name and password or other form of security is used. The media server is
enabled by default with the video, photo, and music shares published.
Songs and Videos from the iTunes Store
After using iTunes on your computer to download songs and videos from Apple’s
iTunes Store, you can copy them to the NSA. Many of these songs and videos
have DRM (Digital Rights Management). At the time of writing, you can use your
Apple account ID and password to authorize up to a total of five computers to play
the files. To authorize a computer, open iTunes and click Store > Authorize
Computer.
