The content is pushed to the HMP using WebDAV. This functionality is built inside
the HMD software, but other WebDAV compatible applications can be used.
The user can connect to the WebDAV address of the device and add, remove or rename
the content on the device.

Push mode has many advantages:
No setup are needed as everything can be done from HMD
No servers are needed
All the content is copied to the HMP, and network is no longer necessary once the
publish has been done
Content is immediately updated
The main drawback of push mode is that a direct access to the device is necessary.
Complex network topography using firewall and/or NAT will prevent the user from
publishing to the device.
Client/Server
When using client/server mode, the content to be displayed by the HMP is located on a
web server on the network. The player will, like a user browsing the web, connect to the
server, and download the files needed to be displayed. In this case the internal storage of
the HMP is used as a cache to minimize the network bandwidth. However a stable
network connection is necessary for the player to display the content.
