WHY CAN I PLAY AND STREAM DRM CONTENT MY HOME
COMPUTER BUT NOT STREAM IT FROM MY SERVER?
The HP Data Vault includes a media server for streaming iTunes music to PCs running iTunes
through the house. See the section in the User's Guide on iTunes.
For Windows Media DRM (WMDRM) content (protected .wma music and .wmv videos), the HP
Data Vault does not support streaming of this content to DMAs at this time. Playing (and
streaming) of WMDRM protected content requires that the device that is playing the content have
a license for the content. When you downloaded the content to your PC, you also received a
license to play the content on that PC. If you copy the files to the HP Data Vault, you cannot copy
or transfer the license to the server. The server must obtain its own license, and we do not provide
for this feature in the current product.
What you can do however, is store your protected content on the HP Data Vault. This allows all of
the PCs in the home that have a license for the content to play it from the HP Data Vault by
accessing it through the network. For example, to add all of the music on your Server to the
Windows Media Player library on your PC:
1. Open Windows Media Player on your PC.
