3. When you scan for PCs under UPnP function, none can be found, or
the PC you are looking for does not appear in the list:
- You have not connected to the wireless Access point. On the internet
radio, select 'Configuration', 'Network ', 'Wireless network
connection' and then select your Wireless network. (You may need to
enter a security key to access the network wirelessly).
- You have a firewall set on your PC which is stopping you accessing
shared files.
- If you have a third party firewall (Like Norton, or Zone Alarm) that will
have its own control panel and you will need to consult the manual for
your firewall.
-
If your PC is connected to a managed network, with a server
sometimes the PC being searched for needs to be server Workgroup.
4. You can see the PC you want to play music from, but cannot find any
folders on the PC:
-
You have a firewall running which is preventing the internet radio from
seeing the shared folder. As a quick check, you can disable firewalls
like Norton to see if this overcomes the problem, if this resolves the
issue then you can either leave the firewall off, or allow file sharing
through the fire wall.
Note: If you firewall is required to provide security for your
system, it should not be left off.
5. I can't share a folder , as the option is not highlighted:
The share folder option will not be available until you have turned simple
file sharing on. Run the wizard.
Scan Error:
When the internet radio is scanning the content of the folders on a PC, it
is possible that a scan error may occur if the windows file sharing
application times out. This is most likely to occur if both the PC with the
media content and the Internet Radio are connected wirelessly.
Try re-connecting the PC with the media content into the network via
cable. This will dramatically increase the speed at which the Internet
Radio is able to scan the content of the Media PC.
Playlists:
Some media ripping applications allow 'Playlists' to be created. The
Internet Radio is able to detect and stream these playlists, but they must
be stored in the folder with the rest of the Media content and they must
have the file extension.m3u.
Windows Media player can create suitable playlist, just select 'create
new playlist', drag and drop the tracks you want into the playlist, then
use 'Save as' to ensure the file type is .m3u. (Existing play lists can be
opened and re-saved in this format) When the Internet Radio detects
you have playlists, it will enable a new menu option allowing the playlist
to be selected and added to the queue.
If you re-connect to another PC of folder, which does not have any
Playlists in the .m3u. format, the playlist option will not be presented in
the menu.
