Protected Media Files

You can play most media files that are protected by digital rights management (DRM) on an
Ultimate HD Media Player by selecting the Enable UPnP media sharing check box in the
Configuration Wizard.

Browsing with Live Folder or the Media Library

The Ultimate HD Media Player has two main ways of browsing media:
• Browse the NTV550 media library by category.
• Browse by folder.

Browsing the Media Library

For fastest browsing, add shared media on your network to the NTV550 media library. You
can use the Configuration Wizard to do this, or select Settings > Media Locations > Scan.
The Ultimate HD Media Player scans these locations for media files from sources on your
network, whether they are on NAS devices, PCs, or attached storage, and aggregates the
files into a library. Then you can browse by name, genre, artist, date, cover art, and so on.
To browse the NTV550 media library, use the Video, Music, and Photos menu selections to
browse by categories. You do need to think about where the media is actually located.
If you add new shared media on computers on your network, you can quickly add it to the
NTV550 media library by selecting Settings > Media Locations > Scan. The Ultimate HD
Media Player scans your selected media locations and updates the library. The library is also
updated to reflect media that has been removed. You can continue to browse the media
library and play media while scanning is ongoing.
