Shared media (from UPnP media server)
Select Menu >
Shared media >
If you have set up shared media , you should see an entry consisting of
<computer
name>
:
<Shared media name>
, for example
JB-Laptop: Audio
. If you have more than
one computer sharing media, the alternatives are listed. Select the shared media you
want to play.
From this point on, the menus are generated from the
shared media server (typically Windows Media
Player). The first menu shows a list of media types,
for example Music, Video, Pictures and Playlists.
The unit can only play music and playlists.
There is also a search function, which finds tracks in
a similar way to Internet radio search.
From Music, there are numerous ways of selecting
tracks, including:
•
Genre
•
Artist
•
Album
•
Composer
•
Rating
Once you have found a track you want to play, press Select . A short press plays the
track immediately and a long press adds the track to the playlist. You can also add entire
albums to the playlist.
The unit plays either the selected track or the playlist.
5.1.1
Wake-on-LAN
If shared media is selected a list of available music servers will be displayed.
If a question mark appears before the server name, this indicates that the server has
been seen before and supports Wake-on-LAN functionality, but cannot currently be
found on the network.
If a server with a question mark is selected by the user, the device will try to wake the
server up and connect to it. In some instances this may not be possible as the server
may not be connected to the network any more or may be switched off.
5.1.2
Prune servers
From time to time it may be necessary to remove servers displaying question marks in
front of the server name from the server list. For example, if the device is moved to a
new network or if a Wake-on-LAN server is removed from your current network.
