Setting Up Network Shares
Network shares are shared folders that can be seen throughout your network. You can specify
which shared folders you want the Digital Entertainer Express to check when it looks for media
files.
To go to the Network Shares screen, press Home, and select More > Supervisor functions >
Advanced Settings > Servers and shared folders. The Network Shares screen offers these options:
• Build network shares list. Scan the network for all shared folders.
• Select which servers to scan. Select which shared folders the Digital Entertainer Express
should check when it scans for media files.
• Add network share. Enter the name of a hidden server, or add a password to a server. A
hidden server does not broadcast its network name.
Media Library Management
The media library is a list of media that the Digital Entertainer Express has found in shared folders
on the network. There are two versions of your media library: One resides on the Digital
Entertainer Express, and the other is a backup, located in the data save location you specify. The
backup library can be saved to a device on your network, or to an external device. Each time the
Digital Entertainer Express searches for media, it can save a new library. If there is a library, the
Digital Entertainer Express powers up faster in the event of a network problem or power outage.
To go to the Media library management screen, press Home, and select More > Supervisor
functions > Advanced Settings > Media library management.
