3.3 UPnP AV Media Server
The UPnP AV Media Server app can turn your NAS into your home’s multimedia streaming
server. As long as you have devices that support UPnP or DLNA (for example, SONY
BRAVIA TV or PlayStation3® ), you can directly browse and stream the pictures, music and
videos stored on your NAS.
Additionally, you can use UPnP/DLNA compatible applications on your mobile device (for
example, a notebook, iPhone or iPad) to stream multimedia files from your NAS.

You only need to have your multimedia files stored in the shared folders “Media” or
“Music” to be able to broadcast them. UPnP Multimedia Server will automatically scan
designated directories for supported multimedia files.

UPnP AV Multimedia Server currently only supports on-the-fly transcoding for photos
and music.
Reminder: The media formats that are playable may vary between devices.
