Synology DiskStation User's Guide

Based on DSM 4.1

159 Chapter 17: Manage Media Server and iTunes Service

Note:

 Deleting folders doesn't actually remove them from your DiskStation. It only prevents DMA devices and DSM

applications from browsing and playing their contents.

 You are not allowed to delete the photo, video, and music shared folders from the list of indexed folders.

Play Multimedia Contents with DMA Devices

Synology DiskStation can pair up perfectly with Sony PS3, Xbox 360, and many other DMA devices. You can use

those devices to browse and stream multimedia contents from your DiskStation to your stereo system and TV

set.

Note: For information about browsing media server's contents with DMA devices, see the documentation that came

with your device.

Install iTunes Server

Go to Main Menu > Package Center to install iTunes Server.

Manage iTunes Server

Go to Main Menu > iTunes Server to use iTunes service. After it is enabled, all iTunes clients on the same local

area network can browse and play songs or videos in the music and video shared folders on the server. The

server will be listed below Shared in the iTunes window after the service is enabled.

Note: For privacy reasons, iTunes clients are not allowed to view videos in the photo shared folder.

The following formats will be supported by iTunes service:

 Audio: MP3, M4A, M4P, M4B, WAV, AIFF, AAC, FLAC, APE, OGG, WMA

 Video: MOV, MP4, M4V
