Configuring and Using the Media Server
Overview
As a media server in the home network, the FRITZ!Box can transmit
images, music, and videos as well as internet radio stations and pod-
casts to compatible playback devices like televisions, smartphones,
Wi-Fi music systems, and streaming software (media streaming).
How It Works
The FRITZ!Box detects media files automatically and makes them
available to playback devices in a clear playlist. You can decide your-
self which media sources on the media server should be made avail-
able to the users in the home network and from the internet.
Writing large amounts of data to a storage medium connected to the
FRITZ!Box can take a while. You can accelerate the process by copying
the data to the storage medium on your computer first and then con-
necting the storage medium to the FRITZ!Box.
