SETTING UP A MUSIC SERVER
In order for Domino to be able to play music files from a connected
computer, the computer must first be set up for media sharing.
UPnP media sharing allows devices like Domino to play music from
a shared media library, navigating through tag menus such as Artist,
Album or Genre.
If you are running a PC with Windows Media Player 11 or later (WMP),
or an Apple Mac with OS X 10 or later and a UPnP application
installed, you can connect Domino and stream audio.
NOTE:
iTunes does not currently operate as a UPnP media server, but
there are a number of third party software add-ons available that will
allow you to access your iTunes library.
SHARING MEDIA WITH WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER
The most common UPnP server is Windows Media Player (version11
or later) although other UPnP platforms and servers may be used.
To set up WMP for media sharing, performs the following steps:
Ensure that your PC and radio are connected to the same network.
Domino will be recognised as ‘Jupiter 6.2’ by your PC.
In WMP, add to the media library the audio files and folders you want
to share with Domino (LIBRARY > ADD TO LIBRARY . . . .).
Make sure that the radio has access to the shared media by
selecting it and clicking ALLOW. You can also set a name for the
shared media settings.
The PC is now ready to stream music to your radio. The WMP UPnP
service runs in the background; there is no need to start WMP
explicitly.
