Locating and playing media fi les using UPnP
Once the UPnP server has been con
fi
gured to share media
fi
les with your
adaptor, you may select the
fi
les that you wish to play as follows:-
1. Ensure your adaptor is switched on. Select
Music Player
as the music
source.
Select 'Browse'
and the main Music Player menu will then be
displayed.
2. Select
'Shared media'
to cause the adaptor to scan for UPnP servers.
Note that it may take a few seconds for the adaptor to complete its
scan.
3. After a successful scan select your UPnP server. If the display shows
multiple media types, select
'Music'
. (Some UPnP servers can serve
pictures and video content to suitable devices.)
4. UNDOK will now list the media categories which are made available
by the UPnP server - for example,
'Album'
,
'Artist'
and
'Genre'
. Select
which category you wish to browse.
If you wish to use the search function select
'Search'
. You may select
characters to build a keyword for searching for content to play.
When you
fi
rst set up sharing with a UPnP server, not all of your
fi
les will
be available immediately. The UPnP server must look inside each
fi
le to
identify the artist and album information from 'tags' embedded in them.
The server may also need time to access the Internet to obtain additional
information such as 'album art' which it can display when you examine
your music library on your PC or device. For a library of many
fi
les this
can take some time.
