10.5.1 The Media Server Share Publish Screen
Click Applications > Media Server > Share Publish to open the following screen. Use this
screen to select shares to publish (share with media clients like the DMA-2501 and iTunes).
Figure 103 Applications > Media Server > Share Publish
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Auto Scan Published
Shares
The NSA has to scan the published shares and find the media files before the media
server can share them. Select this to automatically scan the published shares for media
files.
The auto-scan after adding a large number of files to your published shares could take
up enough of the NSA’s resources to slow other functions like file downloads or sharing.
Clear this option to stop the NSA from automatically scanning the published shares for
media files. With the auto-scan disabled, you can still click the Rescan Content button
to have the NSA scan for newly added media files.
Generate
Thumbnails
Select this to have the NSA create thumbnails for media files. Clear it to stop the NSA
from creating thumbnails for media files. If you enable this and click Apply, the NSA
rebuilds the media server database. This can take a long time if the published shares
contain many files.
Rebuild Database Click this to have the NSA completely rebuild the media server database and scan all of
the published share contents for media files. This can take a long time if the published
shares contain many files. You may need to use this if the media clients cannot see the
files in the media server.
Rescan Content Click this to have the NSA scan for newly added media files. This only checks the files
added to the published shares since the last scan and is faster than rebuilding the
database.
Apply Click this to save your changes.
Reset Click this to restore your previously saved settings.
