UPnP media streaming

UPnP media streaming is a more advanced method of playing back music from your music library compared to streaming files from network shares. With Windows Media Player 11, it is possible to directly access your music library using UPnP through the internet radio. We will explain how to setup WMP11 to enable this feature.

Start WMP11 and click "Tools" -> "Options" or click the title bar with the right mouse button and then select "Tools" -> "Options":

In the options window, go to the "Library" tab and click the "Configure Sharing" button:

Check the "Share my media" checkbox and click OK:

Your computer should now become visible under "Shared media", you still have to authorise it however. Upon connecting, you will receive an error message on your radio and on

Media Sharing Share music, pictures, and video on your network Learn about sharing Online Sharing settings ✓ Share my media How does sharing change firewall settings? OK Cancel

your computer, the following message will appear:

Windows Media Player found: Unknown Device Windows Media Player can share music, pictures, or video to this device. Click here to set up sharing...

Click the balloon, you will see the following message, click "Allow" to allow the radio to stream from WMP11:

Windows Media Player Library Sharing Do you want to allow this device to play content from your Windows Media Player library? You can customize the music, pictures, and video to share. Unknown Device Sharing settings... Disable [future notifications Allow Deny

On the radio, you can now press "Select" to retry.

Besides WMP11 you may also use other software or hardware that supports UPnP media streaming, for example:

• Nokia N82, N95 ®
• Nero MediaHome ®
• Musicmatch Jukebox ®

Troubleshooting

• My wireless network is not listed

This may happen if your wireless network is hidden, or out of range. First try placing the radio closer to your wireless router or access point. If your network is hidden, it has to be added manually. This can be done through the "System settings" -> "Network" -> "Manual settings" menu
