DLNA Media Server

You can configure your NAS as a Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) server, allowing you to access media files on your NAS through your home network using DLNA devices such as TVs, smartphones, and computers.

The contents displayed in DLNA Media Server are based on user account permissions and Multimedia Console settings.

Important:
  • You must enable Multimedia Services before using DLNA Media Server. Go to Control Panel > Applications > Multimedia Console > Overview to enable Multimedia Services.

  • The first time you enable DLNA Media Server, QuTS hero automatically installs the Media Streaming Add-on if it is not already installed on the NAS. For details, see Media Streaming Add-on.
