Using the Drive as a Media Server

Note:

See specific DLNA media device user manuals for instructions on connecting a

DLNA device to your local area network so you can access content on the My

Passport Wireless device. Go to http://www.dlna.org for a list of DLNA-certified

devices and for further information.

The My Passport Wireless Pro drive can be enabled 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. DLNA-compatible devices search for media stored

on the drive if streaming is enabled on the Media page. Streaming is enabled by default.

With streaming enabled, 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

2.0 digital media adapters), and other PC computers on your home or office network

If you have a DLNA server or media player (e.g., VidOn or Skifta) on your phone or other

mobile device, the My Passport Wireless drive can stream media to it. Visit http://

www.dlna.orgfor further information about DLNA.

Enabling Media Streaming

On the Media page you can enable or disable media streaming, refresh or rebuild your media

database on the My Passport Wireless drive, and see a count of the photo, video, and music

files on the drive.
