your DiskStation are played smoothly on your DMA devices.

FLAC, APE, AAC, OGG, and AIFF.
To help DMA identify multimedia file formats:
Tick Enable customized MIME types and enter the customized MIME types.
More Information
MIME types, also known as Internet media types, can improve the compatibility of multimedia files with DMA
by specifying the type and sub-type of media files. You can customize the MIME types to help your DMA device
identify the correct file formats.
To manage the list of DMA devices:

list of DMA devices, click the Help button (with a question mark) at the top-right corner.
Manage Indexed Folder
Under the Index Folder section, you can add indexed folders that will be browsed by DMA devices. By default,
media files within the photo, video, and music shared folders are indexed. You can choose to include more
shared folders or sub-folders for indexing.
For more information about indexing folders for use with DMA devices, click the Help button (with a question
mark) at the top-right corner.
