Media Management

Media Aggregation

If you have multiple Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) servers in your network that have media content, you can combine all media content into one view by enabling aggregation on your ix2. When you enable aggregation, all media content on DLNA servers is available for playback using a DLNA player, such as Playstation®3, Windows Media Player®, or Xbox 360®. In addition, you can optionally copy all media content from your network servers to your ix2.

Enabling Media Aggregation

1.On the Media Server page, click Settings.

2.Check Enable media aggregation.

This enables aggregation for media servers already discovered in your network.

3.Choose the default aggregation setting.

The default aggregation setting sets the default value for media servers as they are added to your network.

The default aggregation settings are as follows:

None — Media aggregation is off.

Show Common View — This enables media aggregation and allows all media content from computers on the network to be played back by a DLNA player. All your movies, music, and pictures are linked from various computers and can be played back from one view. All aggregated media files remain on their original device, and can only be played while that device is powered on and connected to the network.

Copy Files — This enables media aggregation and automatically copies all media content from computers, both networked and local, to your ix2. All your movies, music, and pictures from various computers can be played back from one view, and they are copied into Shares on your ix2. Because all media files are copied to the ix2, they can be played even if the original device they were on is powered off or not connected to the network.

Copy on Request — This enables media aggregation but does not automatically copy all media content from computers, both networked and local, to your ix2. Computers on the network will have to enable media aggregation individually and then media files are copied to the ix2. If a computer is running the LenovoEMC Storage Manager, media aggregation is automatically enabled.

When you enable media aggregation, the media server restarts, and any media you are currently streaming stops playing. You can begin streaming your media after the media server has restarted.
