3.6 Media Server
The UPnP media server can be used to share your photos, music files and videos that are stored
on the network drive in the Public folder with an Xbox 360, a PlayStation 3 video game console or
any other DLNA compliant UPnP-AV client that is connected to the same local network. Before you
start, make sure both devices are connected to the same network and both are turned on.
The UPnP-AV media server supports streaming of the following file formats:
• Pictures: JPG, PNG, BMP
• Music: MP3, WMA, WAV
• Video: AVI, MPEG, MPG, WMV, DAT, DivX, VOB, MOV
Note
Playback support for the various file formats also depends on the UPnP-AV client (e.g. PS3 or
Xbox 360). For more details, please refer to the documentation of your game console or digital
media adapter (DMA).
