The present invention relates to a contents output system capable of outputting contents and a method for sharing codec information for outputting the contents in the system, and the method for sharing codec information in a contents output system includes sharing, when a media server, a media renderer for outputting contents, and a control point are connected, codec information provided by the media server and the codec information of contents playable by the media renderer; and providing, at the media server, the contents to the media renderer according to the shared codec information. According to the present invention, it becomes advantageous to share multimedia contents among the recent multimedia devices following DLNA standard. Also, it is possible to determine whether the multimedia contents encoded in various formats can be played by at least one multimedia device based on the codec information per multimedia device and check the codec supported by each multimedia device dynamically based on the previously stored information and allow each multimedia device to access the multimedia contents provided in various formats. |
