Streaming Services
The built-in streaming services on the ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition allow you to stream multi-
media content directly from the ReadyNAS, without the need to have your PC or Mac powered on.
• SqueezeCenter provides music streaming to the popular Squeezebox music players from Slim
Devices. You can click the http setup link for more detailed configuration options.
• iTunes Streaming Server enables iTunes clients to stream media files straight from the
ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition. You can click the http setup link for more detailed
configuration options.
• UPnP AV provides media streaming service to stand-alone networked home media adapters
and networked DVD players that support the UPnP AV protocol or are Digital Living Network
Alliance (DLNA) standard compliant. The ReadyNAS Pro Pioneer Edition comes with a
reserved media share that is advertised and recognized by the players. Simply copy your media
files to the Videos, Music, and Pictures folders in that share to display them on your player. If
you wish, you can specify a different media path where your files reside.
• Home Media Streaming Server provides streaming of videos, music, and pictures to popular
networked DVD players. The streaming players often utilize the streaming client developed by
Syabas. Similar to UPnP AV, this service is used to stream videos, music, and pictures from the
reserved media share to these adapters. If you wish to change the location where the media
files are stored, you can specify a different share and folder path. Note that this path is shared
between the UPnP AV and this service.
