Sharing Media Files in the Network with FRITZ!Box (UPnP-AV)

As a media server the FRITZ!Box can make media files (music, video and picture files) stored on a USB mass storage device connected to the port for USB devices of the FRITZ!Box available for playback. The media files can then be played back by any devices in the FRITZ!Box network that support the UPnP-AV standard (e.g. FRITZ! Mini, FRITZ! Media).
