Based on DSM 4.2

91 Chapter 19: Manage Media Server and iTunes Service

Manage Indexed Folder

By default, media files within the photo, video, and music shared folders are indexed by Media Indexing Service.

If you want DMA devices and DSM's photo, video, or music applications to access more files on your DiskStation,

you can add more indexed folders at Main Menu > Control Panel > Media Indexing Service > Indexed Folder.

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.

Launch iTunes Server

Enter your Shared name. Tick Require password and enter a password if you want iTunes users to enter a

password before accessing your shared folders.
