Content Scan
The Content Scan panel displays information about the latest media scan of the content
stored on your My Cloud device and of the videos, music, and photos being streamed to
DLNA devices. The scan takes place when the content changes, for example, when files are
added.
1. To view the results of the latest content scan, click the arrow at the bottom right of the
Content Scan panel to display the Contact Scan Status screen:
Note: The My Cloud device runs two scans:
The first section allows cloud accessed devices (mobile) to see thumbnails for
supported files (e.g., jpgs). The second section is what a media server would
see and be able to access (e.g., Windows Media Player).
The Media crawler section shows progress bars. They change to check marks
when the scan is complete. Hovering the cursor over the check marks in the
media scan section displays a progress bar and number of files processed.
The DLNA section shows “scan in progress…” next to the DLNA Media Server
text and only shows counts of files as it is scanning. When the scan is
complete, a check mark replaces the progress bar. Hovering the mouse over a
check mark displays status and number of files scanned.
2. Click a category’s check mark to see scan results.
