“How can I load my BlueRays and DVDs into MyCloud I would like to use the A/V system but the only way I can think to do it is to copy unprotected disks up to my computer and transfer the files. I would also like the play the media as I transfer it. Presumably DLNA protected disks and streaming download can be protected in MyCloud, but how do they get there? A WiFi connected A/V DLNA device would seem to be the best way but no specs I have seen offer that capability explicitly. Another possibility might be to have the phone or tablet stream the Internet content directly to MyCloud but that does not handle my disk collection. Can anyone suggest how to address this collective connectivity?”

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Any media (protected or otherwise) would need to be copied to the MyCloud by going to its network share directly. When you first plug it into your network it is accessible by name via web browser. You can then login using the default credentials, create shares, etc, and assign users. You can also configure whether or not the device acts as a media servier for iTunes or DLNA. Each share can then be enabled for indexing of media which is presented to connected devices. You'll need to connect the MyCloud to a wired network port. This is usually just a port on your wireless enabled router. Once you do that, copy media over, and configure things the way you want them, you just need to browse the server using whatever wireless/wired clients you want to use (such as XBOX ONE, PS4, DLNA capable TVs, etc). One software you might consider looking into is PLEX media server. I'm not sure if it can mount/ connect to collections on remote file servers, but it is a good place to start looking at aggregating all of your media on one platform.
I would recommend:
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You'll need to 'rip' the dvd first. This process reads the dvd files and puts them into a format the file system can understand, such as MP4. Then you can copy them to the public/video folder on the device. Just google 'free dvd ripper' and several will show up. Then a smart TV (or other device) that is DLNA capable and connected to the same network as the MyCloud will be able to find and play them.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.My cloud automatically showed up on my blue ray player. I did not have to do anything. It is a Sony 3D, but have not used it for 3D, if that makes a difference. I was wondering if when I loaded movies on the cloud from my devices if they would show up.
