Streaming Media to your Entertainment Center

If you have a Digital Media Adapter (DMA) attached to your television and/or stereo, you can play the media files stored on your server on these entertainment devices. The DMA accesses your stored media files and coordinates the streaming process between your server and the entertainment device. The Media Vault’s

media server works with both wired or wireless DMAs. Your network must have wireless functionality to use a wireless DMA.

Two conditions are required for media streaming with the server:

  1. Your DMA must use Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) A/V streaming.
  2. Only media files are available for media streaming. The types of files that are considered "media" are: photographs, music (audio), and video. Non-media files, such as Microsoft Word documents, are not available for streaming.

The following figure shows a possible layout for media streaming.
