When the internet radio is scanning the content of the folders on a PC,
it is possible that a scan error may occur if the windows file sharing
application times out. This is most likely to occur if both the PC with the
media content and the Internet Radio are connected wirelessly.
Try re-connecting the PC with the media content into the network via
cable. This will dramatically increase the speed at which the Internet
Radio is able to scan the content of the Media PC.
Playlists:
Some media ripping applications allow ‘Playlists’ to be created. The
Internet Radio is able to detect and stream these playlists, but they
must be stored in the folder with the rest of the Media content and they
must have the file extension.m3u.
Windows Media player can create suitable playlist, just select ‘create
new playlist’, drag and drop the tracks you want into the playlist, then
use ‘Save as’ to ensure the file type is .m3u. (Existing play lists can be
opened and re-saved in this format) When the Internet Radio detects
you have playlists, it will enable a new menu option allowing the playlist
to be selected and added to the queue.
If you re-connect to another PC of folder, which does not have any
Playlists in the .m3u. format, the playlist option will not be presented in
the menu.
6. If the Internet Radio keeps re-buffering radio station:
-The Internet Radio is streaming the data from the radio station via
your broadband connection, if there is a high error rate on your
broadband connection, or the connection is intermittent, then it will
cause the Internet Radio to pause until the connection is re-
established and it has received enough data to start playing again.
-If your Internet Radio keeps stopping, please check the DSL modem
to ensure that the Broadband line is not suffering a high error rate or
disconnections. If you are experiencing these problems, you will need
to contact your broadband supplier.
7. What is Buffering?
When playing a stream, the Internet Radio/Media player, downloads a
small amount of the stream before it starts playing. This is used to fill in
any gaps in the stream that may occur if the internet or the wireless
network is busy.
If a stream gets blocked or experiences Internet congestion while
transferring it may stop/interfere with the quality of play. If this
happens, check your internet connection speed- it must be faster than
the speed of the streams.
