Video Playback over Remote Access
Follow these guidelines:
Make sure the computer you are using has the proper •
plug-ins installed. Playing video files over remote
access requires the same plug-ins you have installed
on your home computer.
Video playback should be limited to smaller video files, •
as larger video files may take a long time to load and
play. The maximum video download size is 50 MB.
NOTE: Video playback support over remote
access depends on the broadband speeds
of both your home connection and remote
connection.
Windows File Sharing
The Media Hub uses the Windows File Sharing feature to
share files with Windows computers. The status of this
feature is displayed. By default, it is enabled.
Disable Click this option to disable this feature.
The shared folders are listed with the following information:
Name, Description, Type, and Status.
Media Server
The Media Server feature allows the Media Hub to index
media files (like a library catalog or database). The status
of this feature is displayed. By default, it is enabled.
If you have UPnP AV-enabled (or DLNA-certified) devices
in your home, then you can use the Media Hub as a media
server. 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.
