Configuring the DivX Connected Server 

You can make media available for playback on DivX Connected™ devices by changing the DivX 
Connected Server configuration. You can add or remove folders, set folder access and privacy, etc. As 
devices connect to your network, they are automatically added to the device list. If a client disconnects 

from the network, it remains in the device list, but is displayed in gray with an "Offline" label.  

Note: 

Changing the name of the DivX Connected Server requires that you restart it.

 

Configuring Media on the Server 

The DivX Connected Server controls access to video, music and picture files resident on the server. 
Configure the DivX Connected Server to make media on your PC available for playback on DivX 
Connected devices. 

To access media on the server, click one of the following tabs: 

 

Video Settings 

 

Music Settings 

 

Picture Settings 

Then follow these instructions to configure the media: 

Adding a Media Folder  

To add a media folder for your videos, music or pictures: 

1.

 

Click ‘

Add Folder

’ and select the folder from the browse list.  

2.

 

Check the ‘

Include subfolders’

 box to include the media in any subfolders. The folder appears 

in the Shared Folders list. 

3.

 

Click the folder to display the folder's contents on the right. 

Files visible in the added folders are now available to the devices in the DivX Connected device List. The 

content in the included subfolders is also available.  

Only playable files for the selected tab are shared. For example, if you add a folder containing videos and 
photos to the Video Settings tab, only the playable video files display. To display the photos, add the 

same folder to the Photo Settings tab. 

Removing a Media Folder 

To remove a media folder for your videos, music or pictures: 

 

Select a folder from the list and click ‘

Remove Folder

’, or 

 

Right-click the folder and select ‘

Remove’

 from the menu. 

The folder is removed from the list.
