12.0 Play Media through your network

Since the EM7195 is equipped with a Samba and UPnP client, you are able to stream media through the network.

If you want to share media files on your computer in order to let the media player play these files, you have to setup your computer as a UPnP server. We will explain how to setup your computer as a UPnP server using the following steps.

12.1 Turning your computer into a UPnP server using Windows media player 11

Your computer does not share media by default. You will have to install a UPnP media server on your computer to add this functionality. When using Media Player 11, you can use the built-in UPnP media service of this program. If you enable this option,

your media player can access the music library on your computer. Follow the steps below to enable this option:

1. Click 'Start'.
2. Click 'Programs'.
3. Click 'Windows Media Player'.
4. Click 'Tools', then click 'Options'. The following screen will be displayed:

1. Go to the 'Library' tab in the left upper corner of the options window.
2. Now click 'Configure sharing'.
3. Check the "Share my media" checkbox and click OK.

1. A list with detected devices will appear within a few seconds.
2. Click the name of your media player.
3. Click 'Allow'.
4. Click 'Ok'.
5. Click 'Ok'.
6. All files in the media library of Windows Media Player will be shared with your media player from now on. The media library will be accessible using the remote control and display of the media player.

Note: Steps above are taken with Windows Media Player 11, available for download at http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/.

12.2 Turning your computer into a UPnP server using

Windows media player 12

Windows 7 is usually equipped with Windows Media Player 12. Although the steps mentioned for Windows Media Player 11 are not completely the same as in Windows Media Player 12, they are mostly useable. If streaming does not succeed directly, you can refer to the help function in Windows Media Player 12. Windows Media Player 12 has an extensive help function which can be used as a guide to setup your computer as a UPnP media server.

Hint: Multiple other programs can turn your computer into a UPnP media server. Some of these programs are available for download, like tversity (www.tversity.com) or Twonkymedia (www.twonkyvision.de).

12.3 Play media through your network (UPnP)

1. Make sure the media player is turned on and is completely started.
2. Go to 'Movies', select 'UPNP' and press the 'OK' button.
3. Now you will see a list of available (media) servers in your network. Select the desired UPnP (media) server and press the 'OK' button on the remote control. The available media folder and files will now be displayed.
4. Select the media folder or file you want play and press the 'OK' button on the remote control to start the playback of the file.

Note: Although UPnP is easy to use, it has some flaws. If your video files are not recognized or you want to play DVD's, or video files with separate subtitles files, it is recommended to make use of Samba, also known as shared folders.

12.4 Play media through your network (Samba)

1. Make sure your media player is turned on and is completely started.
2. Go to 'Movies', select 'SAMBA' and press the 'OK' button.
3. Now you will see a list of available SAMBA and/or file servers. Select the desired SAMBA or file server and press the 'OK' button on the remote control. The available media folders or files will be displayed.
4. Select the media folder or file you want to play and press the 'OK' button on the remote control to start the playback of the file.

12. The NZB module is now ready to be used.

If you want to use a secured news server, you need to fill in port number '563' at 'Server1.Port'. Also, 'Server1.Encryption' needs to be set to 'Yes'.

13.2 Using the NZB module

3. Double-click the NZB file you want to use.
4. Click 'Submit File' after which the NZB file will be transferred from your computer to the EM7195.
5. The EM7195 will automatically start to download.

13.3 Using the Transmission module

1. Make sure you know your EM7195's IP-Address. This IP-Address can be found using the 'Setup' and then 'Network' option.
2. Open you computers web browser.
3. Fill in the IP-address of the EM7195 using the web browsers address bar following :9090. For example: http://192.168.1.25:9090.

Down at the left of the menu, you will see a sprocket. Click this sprocket to go the settings page of Transmission. Here you can alter settings like your maximum download speed. There is no limit to this download speed by default, so your network and internet connection may experience a sluggish performance. For this reason we recommend you to set a maximum to this download speed.

Although Transmission has UPnP support, it is possible you have to open the Transmission port manually on your modem or router in case your modem or router does not support UPnP functions. The used port can be found at the settings page and can also be changed. Refer to the manual of your modem or router how to open ports if necessary.
