stream, you must change the SAP announcement IP address to 239.255.255.255.

other media players.
5. Click View from the menu; a drop-down menu opens.
6. Select Playlist. A Playlist window opens. The right-hand panel indicates the playlist is empty.
7. From the side menu, click Network streams (SAP). The playlist is populated with all streams in your
network that are SAP announcement enabled. If you specified a Group Name when you configured the
publish stream the stream will be listed in folder identified by the group name.
