DLNA

The DLNA section of the page allows you to enable or disable media streaming and rebuild
the DLNA data base. The drive automatically refreshes and rebuilds the DLNA database;
however, you can do so manually if you suspect that your database is corrupted.

1. In the DLNA Server section, make sure the Streaming toggle button

is On.

2. Click one of the following to either refresh or rebuild your DLNA database:

Refresh: Searches for changes made to your media libraries.

Rebuild: Rebuilds the DLNA database from scratch. Rebuilding the DLNA server
database could take a considerable amount of time, depending on the number and
size of the files involved.

Media Count

This section of the screen displays the number of video, music, photo, and other files
available on the My Password Wireless drive. The status is helpful if you are copying files to
the drive--you can see the total number of files transferred.

Note: For information about using SD Cards, see “Moving or Copying Content

from an SD Card” on page 36.

Accessing Your Content Using Media Players

Once you have copied your files to the My Passport Wireless drive, connect the drive to your
home network or directly to the media player. You can use a variety of media players to
stream media. Refer to Knowledge Base Answer ID 11737 for information about devices
that have been tested for compatibility with the drive.

WD Media Players

You can connect the various WD TV and WD Media Players to the My Passport Wireless
drive or to your home network for access to media content stored in the My Passport
Wireless drive. For details on using a WD Media Player to access files on your drive, see
