Setting Up A Music Server; Sharing Media With Windows Media Player - Revo PiXiS RX Handbuch

SETTING UP A MUSIC SERVER

In order for PiXiS RX to be able to play music fi les from a connected
computer, the computer must fi rst be set up for media sharing.
UPnP media sharing allows devices like PiXiS RX 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 PiXiS RX 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 (WMP) 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.
PiXiS RX will be recognised as 'PiXiS RX' by your PC.
In WMP , add to the media library the audio fi les and folders you want
1
to share with PiXiS RX (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.
