Reset media streaming
The media vault’s media server scans your stored media files to gather information, such as artist names, song
titles, video names, and so on, to create a database. The Reset media streaming button deletes this
database and rebuilds it. (Your data will not be deleted.) Resetting may take a long time depending on the
number of multimedia files.
UPnP A/V streaming
UPnP is a set of network protocols that allow networked devices to communicate seamlessly in a home-
networking environment. The UPnP A/V streaming method currently only supports the streaming of unprotected
media files. Some files may be protected by a Digital Rights Management system, which may prevent the
streaming of those files. Media files purchased and downloaded from an online Internet store are most likely
protected.
