- If your PC is connected to a managed network, with a server sometimes the PC being
searched for needs to be set to Home group. See the instructions under Media Center.
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 your firewall is required to provide security for your system, it should not be left off.
5. If the Internet Radio keeps re-buffering radio station:
- The Internet Radio is streaming the data from the radio station via your broadband
connection, if there is a high error rate on your broadband connection, or the connection is
intermittent, then it will cause the Internet Radio to pause until the connection is re-
established and it has received enough data to start playing again.
- If your Internet Radio keeps stopping, please check the DSL modem to ensure that the
Broadband line is not suffering a high error rate or disconnections. If you are experiencing
these problems, you will need to contact your broadband supplier.
6. What is Buffering?
When playing a stream, the Internet Radio/Media player, downloads a small amount of the
stream before it starts playing. This is used to fill in any gaps in the stream that may occur if the
internet or the wireless network is busy.
The Internet Radio streams music data from the PC while you are listening. If a stream gets
blocked or experiences Internet congestion while transferring it may stop/interfere with the
quality of play. If this happens, check your internet connection speed- it must be faster than
the speed of the streams.
