File Types
Internal
The Stora Application uses an internal player to provide high performance playback for the
following file types.
External
The Stora Application uses 3rd party media players and some plugins, such as Windows
Media Player and Quicktime, to play additional content types such as image, audio and video
file types. Also, depending on your browser settings, Stora stores other file types as
documents that can be downloaded, or opened using third party players.
For a list of supported file types, consult the browser plug in specifications on your computer.
Media Players
The media server built into Stora makes content available to a wide variety of media players
on your home network. The media player must support the UPnP-AV (Universal Plug and
Play - Audio Visual), DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) or Windows Media Connect
standard.
Media players include gaming consoles (Xbox 360 and PS3), digital photo frames, iTunes
clients, IP televisions, networked sound systems (Sonos), digital video players (Roku,
NETGEAR EVA2000 Digital Entertainer) and many more.
