FINDING YOUR CONTENT – 30
My Media Library
The benefit of selecting this option is that it shows all the aggregated content on
your network attached and USB storage together in one view. However, it does take
longer to scan all the storage content compared to selecting a more specific option
for content retrieval.
To add additional source content to My Media Library, please do one of the
following:
„ Attach USB storage to one of the USB ports on the media player and it is
automatically added to media library.
„ Connect to a Windows or Mac Share (see “Network Share” on page 32). While
browsing the content inside, press Option to add a share folder to the Media
Library.
„ Use the Media Library Manager for Network Share (see “Media Library Manager
for Network Share” on page 202), and select Add network share to media
library to manually add individual share folders to the media library. A maximum
of 10 shares can be added.
