Title: DSM-320RD - windows media player
Post by: ezkim0x on January 28, 2008, 10:54:00 AM
I have a question about using windows media player sharing for the DSM-320RD

I was wondering if you share with it, instead of the media server.. if it uses the codecs you have installed through windows media player?

I have a few files that won't play on the dsm .. but will play fine on my computer through windows media.. I'd rather not have to reencode them.

The Windows Media Player 11 UPnP AV server does not support all the same files and codecs as the Media Player.

The Windows media player 11 UPnP AV server supports:

• Music files, such as Windows Media Audio (.wma), MP3 (.mp3), and WAV (.wav) files. Note that audio CDs that are inserted into your computer can't be shared.
 
• Video files, such as Windows Media Video (.wmv), AVI (.avi), MPEG-1 (.mpeg, .mpg), and MPEG-2 (.mpeg, .mpg) files. Note that DVD-Video discs that are inserted into your computer can't be shared.
 
• Picture files, such as JPEG (.jpeg, .jpg), portable network graphics (.png), and Windows Media Photo (.wpd) files.
 
• Playlists, such as Windows Media playlist (.wpl) and MP3 playlist (.m3u) files.
