If needed, use the Back option. Select the Media Player menu.
Rotate the Select control to highlight ‘UPNP Servers’.
2. Press and release the Select control a nd the radio will scan for all
available UPnP servers. Note, this may take a few seconds for the
radio to complete its scan and before the scan has completed,
the radio will display ‘Empty’. The radio will continue to display
‘Empty’ if no UPnP servers are found.
3. After scanning, select your UPnP server (rotate the Select control
if more than one UpnP server is found), and then press the
Select control. Your radio will normally display ‘Access Denied’
at this stage.
4. Your PC may now prompt you that a device has attempted to
connect to your UPnP server. Whether you are prompted or not,
in order to allow the radio to have access to the media files,
you will need to click the ‘Library’ tab in WMP 11 and select the
‘Media Sharing…’ item to open the ‘Media Sharing’ window.
5. From the ‘Media Sharing’ window, the radio will be listed as an
unknown device. Click on the unknown device shown to select it,
then click the ‘Allow’ button and then click ‘OK’.
Note:
If you are using Microsoft Windows’ firewall software, this should be
correctly configured by WMP 11. If you are using third party firewall
software you may need to manually configure it to allow your radio
and WMP 11 to communicate (see ’Trouble shooting’).
6. Select the na med server again using the Select control. If WMP 11 is
now able to communicate with your radio you will be presented with
some media selection options by the server software.
Once the UPnP server ha s been configured to share media f iles with
your Internet radio, you select the files that you wish to play as follows:
1. Use the Select control to switch on your radio and to access the
menus. If needed, use the Back option. Select the Media Player
menu. Rotate the Select control to highlight ‘UPnP Servers’.
2. Press Select control a nd the radio will scan for all available UPnP
servers. Note that it may take a few seconds for the radio to
complete its scan, a nd that before the scan has completed the
radio may display ‘Empty’. The radio will continue to display
‘Empty’ if no UPnP servers are found.
3. After a successful scan, rotate the Select control to highlight your
UPnP server and then press the Select control.
4. The radio will now list the media categories which are made available
by the UPnP server - for example, ‘Music’ and ‘Playlists’. Rotate the
Select control to highlight which category you wish to browse,
then press the Select control to confirm your choice.
5. Rotate the Select control to highlight a category and press the Select
control again. For example, you could select ‘Music’ and then select
‘Albums’.
Note:
In UPnP mode the search criteria offered a nd the f ile types made
available to the radio are a function of the UPnP server software
installed on your PC.
6. Rotate the Select control to highlight the media files that you wish
to play and then press the Select control.
Do not worry if not all of your media appear in the menus
immediately. Windows Media Player needs to look inside each file
to identify the artist, album and track information from ‘tags’
embedded in each file. Additionally, Windows Media Player may
take time to access the Internet to obtain additional information
such as ‘album art’ which it can display when you examine your
music library on your PC.
7. The radio will display ‘[Add to Queue]’. Press the Select control and
the radio will add all the tracks in the album to its queue and begin
playing them automatically.
Whether you access your files using Windows Shares or using UPnP,
the file selection mecha nisms are the same. The only difference
between the two methods is that when using UPnP you will generally
have a wider choice of search criteria, a s determined by the UPnP
server software on your computer. Some third party server applications
allow customisation of the search criteria and indexing methods, which
can be useful if you have a very large collection of stored music files.
The selection mechanism allows you to se arch by a given inf ormation
type (Album, Artist, etc.) and then to narrow the search, either just to an
album or to a particular track within a n album. The selected album or
track is then added to a queue of tracks to be played. You can a dd more
albums or tracks to the queue while music is playing, or you can jump
between tracks in the queue. You can also clear the queue if you wish
to make a fresh selection. The searches described here are examples of
the possibilities available.
