7.2. Play Files on Networked Media
Players
The LaCinema Mini HD Bridge is both a network media player and
server. Note that this functionality is only available if you have in-
stalled an internal hard disk. It can play content located on a local
network server and also share the content located on its internal
storage to other UPnP- and DLNA-compatible digital media players
on your network. Examples include Playstation, XBox, DLNA TV or
mobile phones, Kodak Photoframe, and Philips Streamium.
7.2.1. Enable the Media Server Function
The media server function will allow you to view your content on a
compatible media player in a different room in your home via your
home network. Follow these steps:
1. Make sure your LaCinema Mini HD Bridge is connected to your
network (Fig. 93) and has been assigned an IP address (for de-
tails, see 9.6. Settings: Network).
2. Activate Media Servers service in the Settings Space (see section
9.6.3. Media Server) (Fig. 94).
3. Now you will be able to play files located on the LaCinema Mini
HD Bridge (internal hard disk only) on any other UPnP/DLNA-
certified player/adapter connected to your network.
For a typical configuration, see section 7.2.2. UPnP Usage Example:
XBOX.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Once the media server function is activated, it
will take few seconds for the server to become available to the UPnP
player. As the content needs to be analyzed (artist, genre, etc.), this
process can take several minutes. When new content is added to
the LaCinema Mini HD Bridge’s internal storage, it should appear
a few minutes following the completion of the transfer. The same
delay should occur when adding or removing the a USB device con-
taining multimedia content.
