Release notes
Philips Media Manager 3.3.12.0004
This release of the Philips Media Manager improves on the usage of our Philips Streamium and Connected Cineos products.

Release 3.3.11.0041

The new user interface will help you set-up the Philips Media Manager more easily. It is possible to define for each watchfolder the type of content (audio, pictures, and video) that needs to be monitored.
The speed of importing media files and creating thumbnails has been greatly improved. Within minutes the Philips Media Manager is ready to stream content over your local network.
Multiple playlists can now be imported in one single operation. Synchronizing the playlists of your most favorite PC-Player with Philips Media Manager has never been so easy.
This release supports the streaming of content directly from your home-made DVD and (Super) Video CD to your Streamium and Connected Cineos products. Just insert the disc in your PC and the content becomes available on your device. This feature also works when you plug in a USB drive or memory stick.
Directly stream your content from your USB mass storage device (memory stick, MP3 player) to your Philips Streamium and Connected Cineos product without having to configure the Philips Media Manager. Just plug and stream.
Microsoft protected content (DRM10) that plays on your PC, can now also be enjoyed on your SLA5520 and SLM5500. Version 3.3 of Philips Media Manager enables you to listen to or watch your purchased content all over the house.

Release 3.3.12.0004

Sometimes Philips Streamium products and Connected Cineos products could not detect the Philips Media Manager running on some PCs. This has now been resolved.
The playback of high-bitrate HD content on the SLM5500 has been improved.
Support for playback of files bigger than 2Gbyte on the SLM5500 has been improved.
Known Issues:
For optimal experience of streaming Microsoft protected content (DRM10), SLA5500 users are advised to use Windows Media Connect (WMC) only.
For streaming Microsoft protected content (DRM 10), the customer should not use alternately Philips Media Manager 3.3 (PMM 3.3) and Windows Media Connect (WMC). Use only one of them, as they may affect one another’s behavior. In case you need to use both PMM 3.3 and WMC, make sure that they are both active when streaming protected content to devices.
Microsoft Protected content (DRM10) will only play on your devices (for now SLA5520 and SLM5500) if that content can also be played back locally on your PC. For this you need to install on your PC, Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and Windows Media Player 10. If during the playback of content in Windows Media Player issues are reported regarding licenses or security levels, please follow the instructions provided.
If, for some reason, protected content can be played on your PC but not on your device, the license store on your PC may be corrupted. To resolve this problem, Microsoft has outlined a procedure. Please have a look at:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=891664
You may have to contact your content provider for additional actions to restore the licenses of bought content. Note that Philips does not take responsibility if you can no longer play some of your bought content when following this procedure.
Devices that can handle Microsoft protected content (DRM 10) need to be authorized to access the protected content in the Philips Media Manager. For this, you are asked whether you want to allow the device access to the protected content on your PC. For each device this question will be asked only once. If you answered “No” to this question but want to allow the device access at a later time, you can shutdown the Philips Media Manager and remove the file
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\.Philips\MediaManager\devices\denied.dat.
When you restart the Philips Media Manager it will start asking the question again for all devices that are not yet authorized for the Philips Media Manager. Note that if your device is already authorized with Windows Media Connect, the answer to this question is ignored.
The Philips Media Manager supports removable media. However, this will not work for USB harddisks. It is assumed that USB harddisks are continuously attached to the PC. To make the content on a USB harddisk available in the network, you have to configure the directories containing the content on that disk as watchfolders.
Under Windows XP SP1, it is possible that devices take a long time to detect the Philips Media Manager. Opening your firewall for port 47873 resolves this issue.
After importing a large amount of files, the Philips Media Manager may claim full processing power and become unresponsive. Although this happens only occasionally, the solution to this is to restart the Philips Media Manager.
During installation you may get the message:
No JVM could be found on your system. Please define EXE4J_JAVA_HOME. To point to an installed SDK or JRE or download a JRE from
WWW.JAVA.COM
When this happens, please go to www.java.com and download and install the Java Runtime Environment for Windows. Afterwards, first uninstall the Philips Media Manager and then reinstall the Philips Media Manager again.
In the multi-user environment of XP, it is not advised to have multiple Philips Media Managers running at the same time. This will put too high a strain on your PC.
The Philips Media Manager can run together with a wide variety of UPnP servers on one PC. However, it should not be installed together with SimpleCenter and/or the Home Media Server.
