Media AggregationIf you have multiple Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) servers in your network that have mediacontent, you can combine all media content into one view by enabling aggregation on your px4-300d. Whenyou enable aggregation, all media content on DLNA servers is available for playback using a DLNA player,such as Playstation®3, Windows Media Player®, or Xbox 360®. In addition, you can optionally copy allmedia content from your network servers to your px4-300d.Enabling Media Aggregation1. On the Media Server page, click Settings.2. Check Enable media aggregation.This enables aggregation for media servers already discovered in your network.3. Choose the default aggregation setting.The default aggregation setting sets the default value for media servers as they are added to yournetwork.The default aggregation settings are as follows:● None — Media aggregation is off.● Show Common View — This enables media aggregation and allows all media content fromcomputers on the network to be played back by a DLNA player. All your movies, music, andpictures are linked from various computers and can be played back from one view. All aggregatedmedia files remain on their original device, and can only be played while that device is powered onand connected to the network.● Copy Files — This enables media aggregation and automatically copies all media content fromcomputers, both networked and local, to your px4-300d. All your movies, music, and pictures fromvarious computers can be played back from one view, and they are copied into Shares on yourpx4-300d. Because all media files are copied to the px4-300d, they can be played even if theoriginal device they were on is powered off or not connected to the network.● Copy on Request — This enables media aggregation but does not automatically copy all mediacontent from computers, both networked and local, to your px4-300d. Computers on the networkwill have to enable media aggregation individually and then media files are copied to the px4-300d.If a computer is running the LenovoEMC Storage Manager, media aggregation is automaticallyenabled.When you enable media aggregation, the media server restarts, and any media you are currentlystreaming stops playing.
