Using the Drive as a Media Server
Note: See specific DLNA media device user manuals for instructions on
connecting a DLNA device to your local area network so you can access
content on the My Passport Wireless device. Go to
http://www.dlna.org for
a list of DLNA-certified devices and for further information.
The My Passport Wireless drive can be enabled to serve as your home's DLNA media
server. It streams photos, music, and videos to your DLNA-compatible devices so you can
play media on a compatible device easily. DLNA-compatible devices search for media
stored on the drive if streaming is enabled on the Media page. Streaming is enabled by
default.
With streaming enabled, just transfer your multimedia content to your My Passport Wireless
drive, and you are ready to stream and view content on your home entertainment center,
game consoles (for example, Xbox 360
® or PlayStation ® 3), WD TV Live ® media player, or
DLNA ® 2.0 digital media adapters), and other PC computers on your home or office
network.
If you have a DLNA server or media player (e.g., VidOn or Skifta) on your phone or other
mobile device, the My Passport Wireless drive can stream media to it.
Visit http://www.dlna.org for further information about DLNA.

media database on the My Passport Wireless drive, and see a count of the photo, video,
and music files on the drive.
