5. From the 'Media Sharing' window, the radio will be listed as an unknown device. Click on the unknown
device shown to select it, then click the 'Allow' button and then click 'OK'.
Note: If you are using Microsoft Windows' firewall software, this should be correctly configured by WMP 11.
If you are using third party firewall software you may need to manually configure it to allow your radio and
WMP 11 to communicate (see 'Troubleshooting').
6. Select the named server again using the
Select
control. If WMP 11 is now able to communicate with your
radio you will be presented with some media selection options by the server software.
Locating and playing media files when using UPnP
Once the UPnP server has been configured to share media files with your Internet radio, you select the files
that you wish to play as follows:
1. Use the
Select
control to switch on your radio and to access the menus. If needed, use the
Back
option.
Select the Media Player menu. Rotate the
Select
control to highlight 'UPnP Servers'.
2. Press Select control and the radio will scan for all available UPnP servers. Note that it may take a few
seconds for the radio to complete its scan, and that before the scan has completed the radio may display
'Empty'. The radio will continue to display 'Empty' if no UPnP servers are found.
3. After a successful scan, rotate the
Select
control to highlight your UPnP server and then press the
Select
control.
4. The radio will now list the media categories which are made available by the UPnP server - for example,
'Music' and 'Playlists'. Rotate the
Select
control to highlight which category you wish to browse, then press the
Select
control to confirm your choice.
5. Rotate the
Select
control to highlight a category and press the
Select
control again. For example, you could
select 'Music' and then select 'Albums'.
Note: In UPnP mode the search criteria offered and the file types made available to the radio are a function of
the UPnP server software installed on your PC.
6. Rotate the
Select
control to highlight the media files that you wish to play and then press the
Select
control.
Do not worry if not all of your media appear in the menus immediately. Windows Media Player needs to look
inside each file to identify the artist, album and track information from 'tags' embedded in each file.
Additionally, Windows Media Player may take 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.
7. The radio will display '[Add to Queue]'. Press the
Select
control and the radio will add all the tracks in the
album to its queue and begin playing them automatically.
