Finding Your Content - My Storage

This section describes how you can use the media player to access your digital media collection over the local network.

  • Access network attached storage – view and play back digital media content stored on your network attached storage (NAS) device with a DLNA media server.
  • Attach USB storage – attach a USB storage device to the media player containing media files.

Accessing Media Content

Once the media player has an active network connection, you can access media content from a DLNA enabled network attached storage (NAS) device located on the same network as your media player. You can also access content from USB storage connected to the media player. The benefits and applications of each content source type are described below.

  2. Navigate to the My Storage app, then press OK.

text_image Select Storage USB DISK USB Storage WDTVLiveHub

The benefit of using a media server is that it aggregates the content together from the device that is hosting it. The media server hosts a list of supported file formats with metadata information that allows a client device like the media player to easily browse and play back the content.

However, using a media server can restrict supported file types and you may not be able to see all the files stored in the media server.

You can view the original file information when you play a file where the screen will display the metadata.

From this screen you can create new stations, start listening to previously created stations and Quickmix playlist, and define profile preferences for your account.

For more information on the features, options, and limitations of using Pandora, go to http://www.pandora.com.

Pandora Stations

A Pandora station is a personalized stream of music, based on one or more artist names or song titles of your choice. Once you've signed in to Pandora from your media player, you can easily access your stations from the Music menu bar.

Pandora stations reminders

  • You can have up to 100 stations at any one time, plus one QuickMix. Once you reach this maximum number of stations you have to delete a station before you can add another one.
  • Pandora does not allow immediate or "on demand" playback of a specific song.
  • A Pandora station cannot play more than four songs by an artist in a three-hour period.
  • After eight hours of play, Pandora prompts you to see if you're still listening. Streaming stops until you respond.
  • The music selection streamed into your Pandora station contains a mix of songs or artists that were compiled based on:
  • the initial station “seed” used in creating that station. Go to the next section for instructions on how to create a new Pandora station.
  • the track feedback (thumbs up / thumbs down) you provide. Go to page 91 for more information.
  • the number of skips assigned to a track. Go to page 91 for more information.
  • You cannot reverse or immediately replay the songs played on your Pandora station.

To create a Pandora station:

  1. Navigate to Create Station or press Options to select Create station. Press OK.

  2. Use the navigation buttons ▲▼◀▶ to type the name of an artist or song title using the on-screen keyboard. Select Submit, then press OK.

  3. Press ▲/▼ to select a listing from the search results, then press OK.

The listing you selected will serve as the station 'seed' for Pandora to compile and stream music similar to your station.

To listen to a Pandora station:

  1. On the Stations screen, use the navigation buttons to select the name of the station you want to listen to.

  2. Press ||▶ or OK to start listening to the selected Pandora station. Press NEXT ▶ to go to the next song.

QuickMix

QuickMix is a feature that allows you to listen to more than one of your stations at once. QuickMix will play only one song based on particular musical characteristics at a time (unlike regular Pandora stations, which play four related songs in a row), so the mood changes more often.

Providing Song Feedback

You can influence the music selection that is streamed into your Pandora station by providing track feedback for the song currently playing. You can give a song a “thumbs up” or a “thumbs down” vote.

Thumbs up

If you like the currently playing song, give it a thumbs up vote. This positive feedback means:

  • The very next set of songs for this station will be generated using the song you've given a "thumbs up" vote to as a musical starting point.
  • Future sets of songs are likely to have similar musical traits. Multiple "thumbs up" votes on this station for other similar songs will have a cumulative effect.
    This song will play somewhat more often than other songs on this station's potential playlist, and will play about as often as other songs that have received a "thumbs up" on this station.

Thumbs down

If you don't want to hear a song on a particular station, give it a thumbs down vote. This negative feedback means:

  • The song will stop playing, if there are any of the remaining "six skips per hour" available on that particular station (this limit is per station, on a rolling per-hour basis).
    The song will be permanently removed from that particular station's playlist.
  • A new set of songs with a different musical emphasis will begin to play.
  • If you've given at least two "thumbs down" vote to a specific artist on that particular station, songs from that artist will no longer be included in that station's playlist.

To provide song feedback:

- While a song is playing, press ◀/▶ to select ▼ or ▼, then press OK. A prompt to confirm your vote appears.

Putting a Song to Sleep

When you want to stop listening to song, but not permanently remove it from a station's playlist, you put it to "sleep." This prevents the song from playing on any of your stations for 30 days.

To put a song to sleep:

- While a song is playing, press ◀/▶ to select 📋, then press OK. A prompt to confirm the “sleep” action appears.

Bookmarking a Song or Artist

You have the option to bookmark a song or an artist for later reference. You can later refer to this bookmark if you want buy the track when you've sign in to Pandora from your computer or mobile computing device, or if you want to share your musical preferences with other Pandora users.

To bookmark a song or artist:

  1. While a song is playing, press ◀/▶ to select ▪, then press OK.
  2. Press ▲/▼ to select whether to bookmark the song title or the song artist, then press OK.

The new bookmark is added to your listener profile page. Sign in to Pandora from your computer or mobile computing device to view this profile page.

Why a Song is in my Station's Playlist

You can see why Pandora included a particular song in your station's playlist. While a song is playing, select Why this song?, then press OK. The song analysis displays.

  1. Select Pandora from the Services menu then press OK.
  2. Press ▲/▼ to select the Pandora account you want to delete, then press ▶ to select the ▶ and press OK.

Spotify Third-Party Licenses

Several fantastic pieces of free and open-source software have really helped get Spotify to where it is today. A few require that we include their license agreements within our product. Consider it done. As we enjoy giving credit where it's due, we included the entire list below. This means you can not only see which software we've been using, but the terms of the licenses too. A big thanks from all of us at Spotify to the smart people behind the fantastic programs listed. Rock on!
