Configure My Streams
1. Once logged into your Reciva website account, you can add your own Internet radio streams to the
My
Streams
section, which is listed under the
My Account
section. Typically, these will be Internet radio stations
that you will have found using your computer.
2. Clicking on
My Streams
will prompt you to enter the station’s name and its media stream URL. The media
stream URL should be a link to a website’s actual audio stream. If you have any doubt about locating the
media stream URL from a webpage, then please refer to the FAQs section on Reciva’s website,
http://www.reciva.com.
3. Once you have Internet radio streams available in your
My Streams
list, you may play these stations from
your Internet Radio. These stations will be available on your radio from the menu item:
‘Stations > My Stuff
> My Streams’.
Please note, the
My Stuff
menu item and your personal selection of radio streams
(My Streams
) will only be
available on your radio once your radio has downloaded a new radio stations list. To cause the radio to
download a new list of stations immediately, please remove and reconnect the power to your radio.
Media Player
Media player basics
The Media Player allows you to play audio files which are stored on a computer on your network. Supported
file formats are MP3, WMA, AAC, WAV, FLAC, AIFF, Real Audio, AU and playlists (M3U). Note that the
playback of DRM protected content is not supported.
Your radio supports two file access methods. It can connect to folders shared on the network, commonly
known as Windows Shares. It can also connect with file server applications using the Universal Plug and Play
(UPnP) protocol.
All of the supported file types are playable in Windows Shares mode. When using a UPnP server, the playable
file types are dependant on the server softwareused.Forexample,MicrosoftWindowsMediaPlayer11canserve
MP3, WMAand WAV files. To be able to play the other supported file types via UPnP you may need to install
additional third-party software.
When using Windows Shares, music selection is by Artist, by Album and optionally by track within an Album.
When using a UPnPserver, the search and selection criteria are determined by the server, but typically include
additional options such as Genre. Many server applications also allow you to access files according to the
folders within which they are stored.
Note that the references to 'PC' in this section refer to any computer device that may be sharing content on
your network, whether it is a Windows device, an Apple computer, a Linux device, or any other. We use the
generic term 'PC' simply because it is short and convenient.
