Media Server
The TwonkyMedia 5.1 server application searches for all the media (for example,
videos, photos, and music) stored on the My Book World Edition connected to your
home network. The server is pre-set, so you can just transfer your multimedia content
to the respective shared folders on your My Book World Edition, and you are ready to
stream and view content on your home entertainment center, game consoles (for
example, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, or DLNA 1.5 Digital Media Adapters), and other
for further information on
TwonkyMedia.
iTunes
Enable the iTunes Server and customize its settings using the iTunes menu. iTunes
Server allows iPod and iTunes users to share and play music on the My Book World
Edition.
Note: iTunes Server is enabled by default.
With the iTunes Server, you or anyone connected to the My Book World Edition can
use iTunes to play music files stored on it. The iTunes Server creates a virtual music
library on the device and treats it as an iTunes repository, making it possible for music
files to stream from the My Book World Edition to Windows or Mac computers
running iTunes.
The iTunes Server supports only the following file types:
•
*.mp3
•
*.wav
•
*.aac
Note: The iTunes Server requires the presence of the ‘/Public/Shared Music’ share folder. Do not
rename or delete Shared Music if you want to use the iTunes Server. You must recreate or rename
the ‘/Public/Shared Music’ share if it has been deleted or renamed.
