Digital media refers to audio, video, and photo content that has been digitally compressed. Windows Server Essentials makes it possible for networked computers and some networked digital media devices to play digital media files that are stored on the server.

Digital media refers to audio, video, and photo content that has been encoded (digitally compressed). Encoding content involves converting audio and video input to a digital media file such as a Windows Media file. After digital media is encoded, it can be easily manipulated, distributed, and played by computers, and it is easily transmitted over computer networks.

Examples of digital media types include: Windows Media Audio (WMA), Windows Media Video (WMV), MP3, JPEG, and AVI. For information about the digital media types that are supported by Windows Media Player, see File types supported by Windows Media Player.

Watch videos. Your server can be used to store and stream large collections of videos and recorded TV shows to your computers or other playback devices on your network. You can stream videos to an Xbox 360 or to a computer by using Windows Media Player.

Play music. When you turn on Media Sharing for the Music shared folder, you can access your music from devices that support Windows Media Connect. You do not need to enable or configure any user accounts to stream from the Music shared folder after sharing is turned on.

Present photo slide shows. You can store your digital photos in the Photos shared folder on your server and then access them from any computer or from an Xbox 360 that is connected to a TV in your home or office. You can watch photo slide shows, which is like turning your TV into a large picture frame.

Copy-protected media can be played back only on the computer or device that you used to purchase it. Copy protection prevents you from playing media on more than one computer or device, even if you copy the media to your server and play it from there. However, you can store the copy-protected media on Windows Server Essentials and continue to play back the media on the computer or device that you used to purchase it.

Use Windows Media Player to search for the media file that you want. Right-click the media file and then click Play To to send the media file to a networked media device.

You can play your media files when you are away from your Windows Server Essentials network by using Remote Web Access. You can use a cell phone, a remote computer, or a digital media player to search for and play the shared media files that you stored on your server.

is a placeholder. It will be a name that is unique to your server, so the address you type will look like . If you do not know the name of your domain, ask the administrator who chose the domain name when the Remote Access functionality was set on the server. For more information, see Turn on Remote Web Access.

The server administrator can add digital media to shared folders in the media library by accessing the server directly, or by using the Remote Web Access site to sign in to the Dashboard. Other users can add media files to the server by using the Shared Folders connection on the Launchpad, by using the Remote Web Access site, or by using the My Server app for Windows Phone. For information about playing media, see Play and share digital media.

You can also upload media files to the server by using the My Server app for Windows Phone. You can download the My Server app from the Windows Phone store. For more information about the My Server app for Windows Phone, see the blog post My Server phone app for Windows Server Essentials.

Zipping a file creates a compressed version of the file that is smaller than the original file. The zipped version of the file has a .zip file name extension. File types that are reduced the most by zipping are text-oriented file types (such as .txt, .doc, and .xls), and graphics files that use non-compressed file types (such as .bmp). Some graphic files, such as .jpg and .gif files, already use compression, and the file size is reduced very little by zipping. Also, a Word document that contains a lot of graphics is not reduced as much as a document that is mostly text.

A self-extracting executable file is a file that you can download that combines the decompression (executable) program with the compressed files. When you run the executable program, it automatically decompresses the compressed files. This is a common way to distribute compressed data without worrying about whether the recipient has the right decompression utility.

Before the actual download begins, the .exe or .zip file is created. Depending on the number of files and the total size of the files to be downloaded, this may take several minutes. After the download file is created, downloading the file occurs in the background. This allows you to continue working while the download process completes.

The Easy File Upload tool streamlines the process of uploading files on your Windows Server Essentials server. You can add as many files as you want to the Easy File Upload tool, and then upload them to the Shared Folders on the Windows Server Essentials server in a single batch. For more information, see the blog post Understanding Remote Web Access File Sharing.

When the home NAS Host Windows Server 2019 system starts media player streaming, it has added media basic services, disabled "prevent media sharing", started Windows Media Player network sharing service and other associated services, and also run dism / online / cleanup image / scanhealth without damage, However, when the media streaming option is selected in the network and sharing center, the loading page fails. How to solve this problem? Other functions of the service host are intact. thank you.

This might happen if the feature service is not starting. When you go to the Turn on media streaming button, it is either greyed out or does not respond when you click on it. If you are experiencing this issue you can try some of the below troubleshooting.

-To open Services, go to the Windows Search bar and type services.msc.
-Locate the UPnP host service in the list and right-click on it. Click on Properties from the menu.
-Set the Startup type to Automatic.
-Click on Stop > Start to restart the service.

Enable the built-in media streaming feature on Windows 10 or Windows 11 using "Media streaming options" under Control Panel's Network and Sharing Center. You can also install a third-party app like Plex, Jellyfin, Kodi, or Universal Media Server to turn your computer into a DLNA media server.

DLNA media streaming lets you stream video and audio to a huge range of devices, from smart TVs to set-top boxes and even game consoles. For this to work, you'll need to enable or install a DLNA media streamer on your computer.

DLNA stands for "Digital Living Network Alliance" and it is used to describe a group of technology companies that worked together to establish a set of interoperability guidelines between 2003 and 2017 when the organization was dissolved. Within the context of streaming, DLNA is used to denote a commonly-agreed upon standard for local media streaming across a network.

This may also be referred to as universal plug and play (UPnP) streaming. UPnP is the networking protocol that the DLNA servers and clients use to discover one another, while DLNA certifications refer to a whole class of devices incorporating servers, players, renderers, controllers, and even printers.

The important thing to note is that if a device advertises DLNA compliance, or that it is capable of streaming using DLNA or UPnP streaming, you can use it to natively play back media from a DLNA server.

Many boxes you plug into your TV, including the Roku, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and even some smart TVs themselves offer DLNA ("Digital Living Network Alliance") streaming support. They can stream video files and music over the network from your PC---as long as you set up a DLNA server on the PC first.

Using UPNP is easier than you might think, as the server software you'll need is built into Windows. There are also third-party DLNA servers with more features, and you can run them on any operating system. It's up to you which method you want to choose---we'll cover both and give you a variety of options for third-party DLNA streaming servers. Here's how to set up DLNA on your machine.

There are many different pieces of software that can function as DLNA servers, but if you use Windows then you don't necessarily need to install anything special to get started. To enable the DLNA server built into Windows 10 and 11, open the Control Panel and search for "media" using the search box at the top right corner of the window. Click the "Media streaming options" link under Network and Sharing Center.

You can now customize your streaming settings. The default settings allow all devices on your local network to access the media files in your media libraries, and that's fine if you're on a local network with only devices you trust. You probably don't need to adjust these.

If you want to stream video, music, or picture files, add them to the Videos, Music, or Pictures libraries. You don't have to move the files to the current library folders---you can add new folders to the libraries. On Windows 10 and Windows 11, you'll need to unhide the libraries to access them.
