Using MediaSpace to share media
About MediaSpace
You can easily authorize PCs and other devices on your home network to
view your photos and other media files. Use this feature if you want to:
■
access your media files (view photos or play videos) from a different
computer on your home network
■
allow members of your family to access or download your media files
from their computers.
MediaSpace is implemented using Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
networking technology. All of the UPnP components required for
MediaSpace are automatically installed with Media Manager.
For information on how to share media files on your home network, see the
following procedures:
■
Configuring your home network
■
Enabling or disabling home network sharing
■
Granting access
■
Withdrawing acces
■
Accessing shared files
MediaSpace (UPnP) in a corporate environment
MediaSpace (UPnP) is designed primarily for use on home networks, and
will allow you to share media between Media Manager running on your PC
and other PCs or devices that are UPnP-compliant.
Note The device or PC which is sharing media must authorize
other devices or PCs to play that media.
In a corporate environment this may work, but only if all devices or PCs are
on the same network subnet. (In a larger office there may be several
different network subnets.)
