Media Library

Media Library scans and consolidates the media contents of the internal hard drive,
USB drive, and network drives into a database through which you can easily locate
media files. This feature is set to on by default.

The following conditions will prevent the Media Library from processing your media.

„

The USB device has read-only protection.

„

There is not enough hard drive space on the USB device. Your media center
needs some space to cache information, so that searches and scans are faster.

whom a particular set of data (video, music, photographic, or any other type of data)
was collected, and how the data is formatted.

can aggregate the files properly, you can use one of several tools including:

„
