synchronizing content

Your music and photos must be synchronized between the server software on your PC, and the hp digital media receiver. This can take several minutes or more the first time, depending on the number of files you are sharing.

While the server software is synchronizing your files, a dialog box will be displayed on your PC. During synchronization, your music

and photo files will be unavailable on the media receiver. If all servers are synchronizing, the media receiver will display a help message to let you know that “All servers synchronizing”. Your music and photos will be available once synchronization is complete.

Note: The synchronization status message can be hidden. Click on the server icon and uncheck Show Synch Status. Check the option to turn the status message on again. During synchronization, the server icon will display an hourglass.

Synchronization will also occur any time you add or remove files to your shared folders. This occurs very quickly when adding a small number of files or when ripping a CD. If you add or remove shared folders, or drag-and-drop a large subfolder into your shared folder directories, synchronization will take longer.

forcing resynchronization

If you have changed a large number of files, or renamed or restructured your folders, your media receiver may become out of sync with your server.

If some files are not appearing on your media receiver, or they are appearing incorrectly, try resynchronizing the server. Click on the server icon, select Settings from the menu, choose the Maintenance tab, and click the Resynchronize button. This will force a resynchronization of all your shared folders.

Note: When photos are resynchronized, the photo rotation setting will be lost. Photos will again appear in their original orientation. To permanently rotate your photos, use your photo editing software to rotate and save them.
