||
## Why use MediaWEB and not any other similar software? | ||
|
||
MediaWEB has no required external dependencies. This will make installation / configuration easier and less other applications consuming your resources (CPU, memory, harddrive etc.). For smaller platforms (such as Raspberry Pi, Banana Pi, ROCK64 etc.) this is is important. | ||
|
||
## Is MediaWEB secure? | ||
|
||
Yes, MediaWEB only allows read access of media files whithin your media folder. It will prohibit: | ||
|
||
* Access non-media files within your media folder | ||
* Access any file outside of your media folder | ||
|
||
If you protect your content using a username and password (enable in mediaweb.conf) you should enable TLS/HTTPS, otherwise it would be possible to sniff the network for your username and password. | ||
|
||
## How to I view my media? | ||
|
||
Unless you have changed the default port in mediaweb.conf (9834) open a web browser and enter following address: | ||
|
||
http://<hostname>:9834 | ||
|
||
For example, if your IP address is 192.168.1.104 enter: | ||
|
||
http://192.168.1.104:9834 | ||
|
||
If you need to access your images over the Internet you need to enable port forwarding in your router. |
