Notes
- The iTunes streaming client cannot index the metadata from M4A and M4P files (artist name, track information, etc). A remedy for this is in the works and is expected to be released in a future update. To have the iTunes media client read this data, please set iTunes to stream the media over AFP/SMB protocol, and not use the iTunes Protocol.
- There is currently no known file size limit when using the UPnP Multimedia Service
- To stream any media file for LAN purposes, which is not listed here, one can use a full fledge Home Theater PC, load the required codecs for the multimedia file, and stream the file via AFP/FTP/SMB protocol.
- For PhotoStation 3 download only; this is defined as PhotoStation 3 will not display a video to be viewed; the file has to be downloaded to the local machine before it can be viewed.
- For PhotoStation 3, the image file size must be < 10MB
