MY BOOK WORLD EDITION USER MANUAL 6 How to Play/Stream Video, Music & Photos Media Server Overview My Book World Edition is designed to serve as your home's central media hub. It enables you to stream photos, music, and videos to your home entertainment center and/or other PCs on your home network. The TwonkyMedia™ server application searches for the media in the three shared folders (Videos, Photos, and Music) stored on the My Book World Edition connected to your home network. The server is pre-set, so you can just transfer your multimedia content to the respective shared folders on your My Book World Edition (described on the next page), and you are ready to stream and view content on your home entertainment center, game consoles (for example, Xbox 360™, PlayStation® 3, or DLNA® 1.5 Digital Media Adapters, such as WD TV™ Live HD Media Player). Visit www.twonkymedia.com for further information on TwonkyMedia.

Please refer to your device's user manual to see which formats are supported. Media Storage You can access and store media content on My Book World Edition via network shares. Shares are folders that can be used to organize and store files on your My Book World Edition network storage system. Shares can be shared with everyone (public) or with selected users on your network (private). HOW TO PLAY/STREAM VIDEO, MUSIC & PHOTOS - 64
