Why can I Play and Stream DRM Content on my Home
Computer but I Can Not Stream it From my HP Media
Vault?
The HP Media Vault includes a media server for streaming iTunes music to
PCs running iTunes through the house. See the section in the User's Guide on
iTunes.
For Windows Media DRM (WMDRM) content (protected .wma music and
.wmv videos), the HP Media Vault does not support streaming of this content
to DMAs. Playing (and streaming) of WMDRM protected content requires that
the device that is playing the content have a license for the content. When
you downloaded the content to your PC, you also received a license to play
the content on that PC. If you copy the files to the HP Media Vault, you cannot
copy or transfer the license to the server. The server must obtain its own
license, and we do not provide for this feature in the current product.
What you can do however, is store your protected content on the HP Media
Vault. This allows all of the PCs in the home that have a license for the content
to play it from the HP Media Vault by accessing it through the network. For
example, to add all of the music on your HP Media Vault to the Windows
Media Player library on your PC:
Open Windows Media Player on your PC.
Select File -> Add to Media Library -> Add Folder ….
In the Add Folder dialog, type \\HPMediaVault\Music and click OK.
