DLNA Media Server
The NAS supports two types of DLNA Media Servers: QNAP DLNA Media Server and Twonky Media
DLNA Server.
QNAP DLNA Media Server is developed by QNAP, and Twonky Media DLNA Server is a third-party
media server. To allow DLNA media players to access and play the NAS multimedia content via QNAP
DLNA Media Server, enable the QNAP DLNA Media Server and configure the Media Library and the
default user account.
Note:
 The contents allowed to be browsed on devices connected to the media server are based on the
shared folder permission set for the default user account. Viewers can only watch multimedia
contents from the media folders that the default user account is assigned the permission with.
For media folder setup, please refer to the chapter on Multimedia Management. For permission
assignment, please refer to the chapter on Shared Folder.
 Twonky server must be installed separately on certain NAS models. Please refer to the product
software specification table for details (http://www.qnap.com/products.)
