8.3 Sharing Media Files on Your Network
The media server feature lets anyone on your network play video, music, and photos from the
NSA (without having to copy them to another computer). The NSA can function as a DLNA-
compliant media server and/or an iTunes server. The NSA streams files to DLNA-compliant
media clients or computers using iTunes. The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a
group of personal computer and electronics companies that works to make products
compatible in a home network.
Publish shares to let others play the contained media files.
