Enabling Media Streaming for a Folder
Streaming to DMA-enabled Devices. Enable media streaming if you
have a Digital Media Adaptor (DMA) and want to stream photos, music, or
videos in a folder to your television or stereo. Media streaming looks for files
of a certain type—photos, music, or videos—within the specified folder.
Therefore, music must be placed in the music folder or a sub-folder of the
music folder. Photos must be within the Photos folder. Videos must be in the
Videos folder.
For example, if a .jpg (a photo file format) is placed in the music folder it will
not be streamed as a photo. It is ignored since it is not in the photos folder.
Streaming to iTunes. You can also enable media streaming if you are
placing music files in a folder and want to listen to them using iTunes. Only
music files that are not DRM-protected can be streamed to iTunes. Music
purchased from the iTunes store or some other online stores cannot be
streamed to iTunes from the Media Vault. Likewise, photos or videos cannot
be streamed to iTunes, just music files.
