Media Server

This menu displays network attached UPnP media servers connected to your network and usage is optimized with DLNA compliant devices such as WD My Book Live personal cloud storage and WD TV Live™ Hub media centers.

The benefit of using a media server is that it aggregates the content together from the device that is hosting it. The media server hosts a list of supported file formats with metadata information that allows a client device like the media player to easily browse and play back the content.

However, using a media server can restrict supported file types and you may not be able to see all the files stored in the media server. When using a Network Share, every file is presented to the media player and it does the content filtering based on what it can support.

Playing Music From Your iPod

Apple® uses a proprietary naming scheme and because of this the media player is unable to display the original names for the folders and files as they are in your iPod. The media player instead reassigns new names for the folders and files, but only while in use with the media player. The original file information is preserved in your iPod. You can view the original file information when you play a file where the screen will display the metadata.

Note: The media player does not support playback of protected premium content such as movies or music from the iTunes

Store, Cinema Now, Movielink®, Amazon Unbox™, and Vongo®.

To use your iPod with the media player, simply plug your iPod in to the USB port and navigate through the interface menu.
