After installing the MediaMVP, there are two ways of finding media on your PC. You can
either manually search for media from the TV set using MediaMVPs
Settings menu , or you
can automatically search for media using the MediaMVP Search for Media program on
your PC.
To start the Search
Folders program
from the PC, click
Windows Start , then
Programs , and
under Hauppauge
MediaMVP run the
Search Folders
program.
You will see a
menu which allows
you to select the
Media Type
(music, videos, pic-
tures) and the
directories to be searched. Select the
Media Type and the Search In directory (chose
“My Computer” to look in all directories) and click Search .
Once you start the search, any directory with the media type selected will appear in the
Search Results box. To add a directory, click on it and then click Add . Click Save before
you move to another media type.
Note: right click your mouse in the Favorites list, then click Add to manually add a specific
path (for example: when you already know where your music is on your disk drive, add that
directory). To delete a directory, right click your mouse on a directory, then click
Remove .
When you are finished searching for your media, click Save then close the Search applica-
tion. The directories selected will be listed MediaMVP’s Video, Music and Picture menus.
Searching for media from the MediaMVP
You can also choose directories for music, digital pictures and videos from the MediaMVP
“
Settings ” menu. For instructions, in the section entitled “ MediaMVP menus ”, look at the
Settings menu .
Note: the first time you enter a directory, it takes a long time (as long as several minutes)
while thumbnail images are created. The next time you enter the directory, the response will
be immediate. You can also turn off thumbnailing in the Settings/Configuation menu.
