Media Collector

When HP Media Collector copies music files from all your computers and users,
it attempts to reduce duplicates. For example, if two users have the same music
file, Media Collector copies only one file to the Server.
Before You Configure HP Media Collector
Note We strongly recommend that you enable the Guest account and give the
Guest account full permission on all your photos, music, and videos shared
folders; this ensures that Media Collector always has access to all shares.
The first time that you open the Media Collector tab in the Windows Home Server
Settings window, all your computers are listed in the Included computers box. When
you add a new computer , it shows up in the Available Computers list. To add the new
computer to Media Collector’s scan schedule, simply move it to the Included computers
box.
When enabled, Media Collector automatically scans the
Included computers for media.
Media Collector does not scan computers in the Available computers box. You can
move a computer out of the Included computers box and into Available computers if
you want to disable media collection for that computer.
