File Types

The Stora Application uses an internal player to provide high-performance playback for the
following file types.
Media Class Supported Formats
Image JPEG, GIF, PNG
Audio MP3
Video MPEG-4 (H.264), MOV, FLV
The Stora Application uses third-party media players and some plug-ins, such as Windows
Media Player and QuickTime, to play additional content types such as image, audio, and
video files.
Also, depending on your browser settings, Stora stores other file types as documents that
can be downloaded or opened using third-party players. For a list of supported file types,
consult your browser's plug-in specifications.

Media Server

The media server built into Stora makes content available to a wide variety of media players
on your home network. The media player needs to support the UPnP-AV (Universal Plug and
Play - Audio Visual), DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance), or Windows Media Connect
standard.
Media players include gaming consoles (Xbox 360 and PS3), digital photo frames, iTunes
clients, IP televisions, networked sound systems (such as Sonos), digital video players (Roku
or NETGEAR NTV250, NTV350, and NTV550), and many more.

iTunes Client

An iTunes client on the network can access music stored on Stora. The music files need to
be within folders or albums that are configured to share with digital media adapters (DMAs)
or media players. Music files appear in the SHARED > Stora:iTunes folder.
