Chapter 7 Applications 7.3 The Media Server Screen The Media Server screen allows you to share files with media clients. 7.3.1 Sharing Media Files on Your Network The media server feature lets anyone on your network play video, music, and photos from the NSA (without having to copy them to another computer). The NSA can function as a DLNA-compliant media server and/or an iTunes server. The NSA streams files to DLNA-compliant media clients or computers using iTunes. The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a group of personal computer and electronics companies that works to make products compatible in a home network. • Publish shares to let others play the contained media files. • The media server is a convenient way to share files you download using the broadcatching service (see Section 7.6 on page 158). • Hardware-based media clients like the DMA-1000 can also play the files. See Section 15.4 on page 300 for the supported multimedia file formats. Note: Anyone on your network can play the media files in the published shares. No user name and password or other form of security is used. The media server is enabled by default with the video, photo, and music shares published. Songs and Videos from the iTunes Store After using iTunes on your computer to download songs and videos from Apple's iTunes Store, you can copy them to the NSA. Many of these songs and videos have DRM (Digital Rights Management). At the time of writing, you can use your Apple account ID and password to authorize up to a total of five computers to play the files. To authorize a computer, open iTunes and click Store > Authorize Computer. NSA-220 Plus User's Guide 135
