Configuring the DivX Connected Server
You can make media available for playback on DivX Connected™ devices by changing the DivX
Connected Server configuration. You can add or remove folders, set folder access and privacy, etc. As
devices connect to your network, they are automatically added to the device list. If a client disconnects
from the network, it remains in the device list, but is displayed in gray with an "Offline" label.
Note:
Changing the name of the DivX Connected Server requires that you restart it.
Configuring Media on the Server
The DivX Connected Server controls access to video, music and picture files resident on the server.
Configure the DivX Connected Server to make media on your PC available for playback on DivX
Connected devices.
To access media on the server, click one of the following tabs:
•
Video Settings
•
Music Settings
•
Picture Settings
Then follow these instructions to configure the media:
Adding a Media Folder
To add a media folder for your videos, music or pictures:
1.
Click ‘
Add Folder
’ and select the folder from the browse list.
2.
Check the ‘
Include subfolders’
box to include the media in any subfolders. The folder appears
in the Shared Folders list.

Click the folder to display the folder's contents on the right.
Files visible in the added folders are now available to the devices in the DivX Connected device List. The
content in the included subfolders is also available.
Only playable files for the selected tab are shared. For example, if you add a folder containing videos and
photos to the Video Settings tab, only the playable video files display. To display the photos, add the
same folder to the Photo Settings tab.
