6. Using the “Play To” Feature in Windows to Stream Media
One of the Windows Media Player 12 features includes a feature called “Play To” and this lets your PC
running Windows control the unit to push media and use as a universal remote control for your media
collection.
Jupiter 6.2 supports the industry standard DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) 1.5 digital media render.
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 PC on a home network.
Before you can use the “Play To” feature you need the set-up Jupiter 6.2 for Windows streaming media.
