11.2 Setting up Windows media player 12 as UPnP

server (Windows 7)

Windows 7 is usually equipped with Windows Media Player 12. If streaming does not

succeed directly, you can refer to the help function in Windows Media Player 12.

Windows Media Player 12 has an extensive help function which can be used as a

guide to setup your computer as a UPnP media server.

1. Open Windows Media player 12.

2. If Windows Media Player starts in the ‘Now Playing’ mode, click the ‘Switch to

Library’ button located in the upper right corner of Windows Media Player.

3. Click ‘Stream’ and click ‘Turn on home media streaming’.

4. Turn on ‘Home Media Streaming’ at ‘Media streaming options’.

The steps above are usually sufficient to stream using the UPnP. If this does not

succeed, please visit the Microsoft website for more information.

Hint: Multiple other programs can turn your computer into a UPnP media server. Some

of these programs are available for download, like tversity (www.tversity.com) or

Twonkymedia (www.twonkyvision.de).

11.3 Playing media through your network (UPnP)

1. Use the navigation buttons to select ‘Manager’ and press the ‘OK’ button.

2. Press the ‘Option’ button and select the category. If you want to play a video file

using UPnP, select ‘Movies’ and press the ‘OK’ button.

3. Select ‘UPNP’ and press the ‘OK’ button after which the available UPnP server(s)

will be shown.

4. Select the UPnP server you want to use and press the ‘OK’ button.

5. If necessary, select the correct folder and press the ‘OK’ button.

6. Now select the file you want to play and press the ‘OK’ button. The file starts to

play.

Note: Although UPnP is easy to use, it has some flaws. If your video files are not

recognized or you want to play DVD’s or video files with separate subtitles files, it is

recommended to make use of Samba, also known as shared folders.

11.4 Playing media through your network (Samba)

1. Use the navigation buttons to select ‘Manager’ and press the ‘OK’ button.

2. Press the ‘Option’ button and select the category. If you want to play a video file

using Samba, select ‘Movies’ and press the ‘OK’ button

3. Select ‘Network’ and press the ‘OK’ button after which the workgroup(s) will be

shown.

4. Select the correct work group and press the ‘OK’ button. The available Samba

server(s) will be shown.
