A quick but seperate follow up to last query. Sorry for stupidty !
The WD learning centre indciates under the ‘how to stream HD content’ :
- Launch the My Book Live dashboard.
- In the dashboard, click Settings.
- In the left pane, click Media.
- Turn on Media Streaming.
-
Click the View Media Players link. I can’t see that link on that screen of dashboard ??
Also in this sectioon under ‘adding media’ it says:
Double-click your Public share to open the folder and display the following pre-configured folders.
- Shared Music: Stores music files you want to stream
- Shared Pictures: Stores image files you want to stream
- Shared Videos: Stores video files you want to stream
Does that mean you cannot stream HD from a user created private folder ??
Yes, you can stream from any share if you enable that option within the share configuration.
great thanks - I checked and I do have ‘edia sharing’ ticked for my private folder.
just leaves me trying to find where the online helps says I’ll find under settings > media a link to ‘click the view media players link’. I can’t see that link ?!?
You should see it under
Settings – Media – and then expand the little chevron symbol:
Depending on when you bought your MBL, it might not have the TWONKY media server; it may have the WD “DLNA” media server – but the info is in the same place either way.
how bizzare. It wasn’t there last night and it wasn’t there just before I posted this query but I just looked and its there. Yes - not twonkly but the DNLA version. And that also explains why I havenm’t foggiest about what all this twonky talk was - I ain’t got it !
thank you
Sorted
