6. Using the “Play To” feature in Windows 7 to stream media
One of the new Windows 7 features includes a feature called “Play To” and this lets your PC running
Windows 7 control Stream2 to push media and use as a universal remote control for your media collection.
Stream2 supports the industry standard DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) 1.5 digital media renderer.
This allows you to "Play To" other devices around your home and combine media streaming with controlling a
connected media receiver while streaming content to it from another Windows 7 PC on a home network.
Before you can use the “Play To” feature you need the set-up Stream2 for Windows 7 streaming media.
