8.2 The UPnP AV Media Server
Introduction
Your Technicolor Gateway has a built-in DLNA-certified UPnP AV media server. This section describes how to use and
configure this media server.
UPnP AV
UPnP AV (AV stands for Audio and Video) is a protocol especially designed to share media files on your local network .
DLNA-certified
The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is an organisation that imposes requirements to ensure the interoperatability
of your media devices and standardize the communication between them.
Buying a DLNA-certified device like the Technicolor Gateway guarantees you that it will seamlessly integrate with your
other DLNA-certified devices.
To allow you to access your media in a quick and easy way, the Technicolor Gateway scans your storage device for meta data
information (for example, title, artist, album) and stores it in a database. When you are looking for a file, the Technicolor
Gateway can simply query the database instead of having to go through all the files.
UPnP AV network components
A UPnP AV network consists of the following components:

The UPnP AV server is directly connected to your media files and makes them available on the network. In your network
the Technicolor Gateway will fulfil this role.

The UPnP AV client is a software application or hardware device that allows you to play or view the media files provided
by your UPnP AV media server.
This database will only be created if the following conditions are met:

Your disk or partition must have at least 250MB of free space

Your disk or partition must not be read-only.
