HP Media Collector takes media files from the computers on your network and copies them to
your HP MediaSmart Server. This allows you to maintain a comprehensive library of music,
photos, and videos in one location in your home. You can stream media to your television and
stereo. You can share music with iTunes applications on other computers in your network. You
can even stream media to the Internet where any computer with a Web browser can play it.
Note
Media Collector copies only media files. It does not collect other file types, such as Microsoft
Office documents.
Media Collection
HP Media Collector scans your computers for music, image, and video files and it copies them to
the Server. You can choose how, where, and when Media Collector gathers your media. For
example:
•
You can tell Media Collector to look for videos in all folders or only in your My Videos folders.
•
You can tell Media Collector to look for music and not to look for photos and video.
•
You can tell Media Collector to gather photos from your computer and not from your children’s
computers.
Schedule
Media Collector scans the computers in your network on an automatic schedule that you choose.
After you enable media collection and set the schedule, Media Collector collects new media files
when you add them to your computers.
Media Collection Order
When all media types are enabled for collection, Media Collector collects photo files first; then
music files, and it takes video files last.
HP Media Collector Default Settings
Media Collector is disabled by default. Before Media Collector can begin to copy media to your
HP MediaSmart Server, you must enable the media types you want to collect.
Media Collector copies media files only from computers that are installed as clients on your
Windows Home Server network. For example, if you have a computer that you use only for
gaming and you have not made it part of your Windows Home Server network, this computer is
not available for Media Collection.
