Playing Video

The GoFlex Access app can stream video in the following formats:
• H.264 video, up to 1.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second; low-complexity
version of the H.264 baseline profile; AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio;
.m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats.
• H.264 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second; baseline profile up
to level 3.0; AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio; .m4v, .mp4, and .mov
file formats.
• MPEG-4 video, up to 2.5 Mbps, 640 by 480 pixels, 30 frames per second; simple profile;
AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps, 48kHz, stereo audio; m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats.
Note: The GoFlex Access app is unable to stream video that is not in one of the formats listed
above. If you have video in .mkv, .avi, .wmv, .3gp, .vob, .m2ts, or other non-supported video
format, and would like to stream it using the GoFlex Access app, you can manually transcode
it into one of the supported formats. There are many video transcoding software options
available, some of which are free, that you can use to change your video files into one of the
supported formats.
If the video appears to be stuttering upon playback, try rebooting your smartphone or tablet.
This can free up memory and system resources. Also check the upload speed of the GoFlex
Home, or the download speed of your smartphone or tablet, since high network traffic or low
download speed can be the cause of stuttering video. If you are using a 3G connection, try
switching the connection to Wi-Fi if possible.

Playing Music

The GoFlex Access app can stream music files in .mp3 format. Using the Android version of
the app, you can start streaming music and keep playing it in the background while you run
other apps or play a picture slideshow.

Viewing Pictures

GoFlex Access lets you view pictures stored on your GoFlex Home from your smartphone or
tablet. You can scroll through your pictures one at a time, or view them in a picture slideshow.
To start a picture slideshow, open a picture, and press the Play button in the top right corner.
GoFlex Access cycles through your stored pictures, displaying a new picture every five
