Media Server Scan Settings
This section allows you to control how your advanced router’s
DLNA media server locates audio, video, pictures, and other
files to make them available for sharing within your network.
You can choose to discover all supported media files from the

If you choose to Scan All Files, all supported file types
available will be discovered by the media server from your

Scan By File Type. This allows you to select specific audio,
video, image, and/or related content types you want to have
discovered and shared by your media server.

audio, video, image, or other supported content types from each
shown column you want to be discovered and shared by your
media server.
Click the Selected button for each category to choose only
those types to be discovered and made available for sharing.
