3.3.5 DLNA Media Server

The MaxNAS R8 provides media streaming service to standalone networked home media adapters that support the UPnP-AV protocol or are Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) standard compliant. This allows shared digital media such as music, pictures, and movies with any compatible device throughout your entire home. For more information and a list of compatible devices please visit www.dlna.org. To enable the media server navigate to “System Network” -> “Media Server”. Click the “enable” radio button and Apply . Next, click the check box beside folder(s) that you’d like to share over your network. The service will index and share all compatible media files in these shares. The media server will appear to your compatible DMA (digital media adapter) as “MaxNAS:Macrovision Media Server.”

The web access control specifies the supported mode of connection for the web interface including administration, webdisk functionality, and the photo server. The MaxNAS can communicate over unsecured (cleartext) http communication and secured (SSL) https communications, or both. You may choose the communication options as well as user definable TCP ports by navigating to “System Network” -> “HTTP/Webdisk.” Click Apply to complete the operation.
