Using the Drive as a Media Server

Media Server Overview

My Passport Wireless drive uses TwonkyMedia to enable the drive to serve as your home's

DLNA media server. It streams photos, music, and videos to your DLNA-compatible devices

so you can play media on a compatible device easily

Note: DLNA-compatible devices search for media stored on the drive if

streaming has been enabled on the Media page (see “Media Page” on

page 47). By default, streaming is disabled.

Note: If you have a DLNA server? player? (e.g., Vidon or Shiftka) on your phone,

the My Passport Wireless drive can stream media to it.

The media server searches for all the media stored on the My Passport Wireless drive

connected to your home network. After enabling media serving for the drive (see “DLNA” on

page 47), you can just transfer your multimedia content to your My Passport Wireless drive,

and you are ready to stream and view content on your home entertainment center, game

consoles (for example, Xbox 360® or PlayStation® 3), WD TV Live® media player, or

DLNA® 1.5 digital media adapters), and other PC computers on your home or office

network. Visit http://www.dlna.org for further information on DLNA.
