Local Access
You can access the Media Browser screen from any
computer using a web browser.
For more information, refer to Chapter 4: Use of the
Media Browser, page 15.
UPnP AV Media Server
If you have UPnP AV-enabled (or DLNA-certified) devices
in your home, then you can use the Media Hub as a media
server. (This service is enabled by default—no special
setup required.) Such devices include digital media
adapters and other devices, such as a gaming console
with a built-in media player or digital picture frame.
For example, if you have a digital media adapter that sends
content to your entertainment system, then the digital
media adapter can locate the Media Hub using the UPnP
AV standard. Media content on the Media Hub can then
be accessed and played by the digital media adapter.
By default, the Media Hub automatically indexes the digital
media files it stores. You have the option of indexing media
files on your local network. If you use this option, the
Media Hub scans its local content and any media content
stored in UPnP AV-compatible servers connected to the
local network. Refer to Media Server, page 40.
iTunes Server
If you use iTunes, then you can use the Media Hub as a
centralized location for your iTunes library. (This service
is enabled by default—no special setup required.) Open
iTunes on any of the computers on your network, and play
any music or video file on the Media Hub.
Remote Access
If you enable and set up the Remote Access service,
you can use the Media Hub over the Internet. For more
information about how to configure the remote access
settings, refer to Remote Access, page 39.
With the Remote Access service, you can access media
files through the Media Browser. Use the File Browser to
add, copy, move, or delete files. Refer to File Browser,
page 23.
Here are a few examples of remote access:
View Pictures Remotely
You want to share pictures from your recent trip, but you
forgot to bring the memory card you used. This is not a
problem since you have set up your Media Hub for remote
access.
