The metadata box will get ticked automatically when you tick video, this means it will download a description of the video if it can find one. For the path which has video tick the video box and for music tick the music both etc. There are 5 tick boxes, from left to right its video, music, pictures, metadata and update. Once you have added the paths to your media you need to specify what is in these folders. To add these folders you need to click ‘Add Local.’ and add them individually. You can see I have split music, pictures and video into 3 different places. The best way to do this is to have your various types of media split up.

However if you do grow to like this feature and find it useful you can buy a pro licence for $25.

The free version comes with a 15 day free trial, after that you lose the ability to stream through a web browser.

This is handy for any devices which don’t support DLNA. The pro version allows you to stream your media through a web browser. It’s free and it’s supported on Windows, Mac, and Linux and because it’s Java based some NAS devices. I’ve not found anything simpler but effective then this piece of software. There are a few to choose from but the top of the list and the one I use is called Serviio. This is the idea I went for.įirst of all you need to find some DLNA media server software. This is essentially the same idea as Windows Media Player but allows you to install it on any supported machine and have a permanent place for all your content. The other way is to install a piece of software that turns a computer into a DLNA media server. This will allow other devices on the network to access media in your library. This is done by turning on media streaming. For example Windows Media Player 11 and onwards can be used to share media that is on your computer with other DLNA devices. There are a few ways to share media with DLNA. To do this you of course need a network, it doesn’t have to be anything special just allow your devices to communicate with each other. Most major tech companies are signed up which means that the majority of devices are compatible. This allows media content to be shared with devices regardless of there make or model, providing they are DLNA compliant. DLNA devices use UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) to communicate. DLNA stands for Digital Living Network Alliance. The main way of doing this is through a DLNA media server. I looked at various ways to stream media to my devices in my own home. Having not till recently had a large enough bandwidth to support streaming media such as films over the internet. All this without relying on a decent broadband connection and all for free! This could be home videos, digital film downloads or pictures and music. However it is nice on occasion to be able to access and stream media from your very own home.

To be honest there isn’t much that rivals it. Be it from Netflix, SkyGo, Amazon Instant Video or another streaming service.

The ability to sit in our homes switch on a smart TV, console, tablet or smart phone and watch whatever we feel like. Now we all love the idea of being able to stream media from one place in the world to another.
