Accessing Your Videos, Photos, and Music

You can access your media library from a mobile device or your computer. For easy access to media files using a mobile device, install the LaCie Media™ app. The app is available in your mobile device’s app store.

You can also enjoy your videos, photos, and music from a web browser on a computer or mobile device. Type www.laciefuel.com to access your media library.

See the LaCie Media App user manual for details.

Note on app availability: The LaCie Media app supports only Apple, Android, and Windows 8/RT devices.

 

Unsupported media files

The LaCie Media app is the best solution for managing your LaCie Fuel and playing back media files supported by your mobile device. However, certain files are not playable within the app since LaCie Media does not convert or transcode media stored on the device. If your media library includes many files that are not supported by your mobile device, you can:

  • Transcode and convert the files on your computer to compatible a format before copying them to the LaCie Fuel. LaCie Media will play the files once they are converted to a media format supported by your mobile device.
  • Try a third-party app on your mobile device that is designed to play the media files. When searching for a compatible app in your app store, make certain that it:
    • Supports your file types
    • Supports network and wireless devices

When using a third-party app:

  1. Confirm that you are connected to the LaCie Fuel's Wi-Fi.
  2. Choose network/wireless devices as the source.
  3. Choose the LaCie Fuel as the source playback device.

Important info: LaCie takes no responsibility for the use of third-party apps or third-party transcoding applications. Additionally, all questions regarding connection to LaCie and Seagate devices and file conversion using third-party apps should be directed to the third-party app's documentation, website, or manufacturer.
