Windows media player starten des servers

The PC on which you have audio you want to share must be located on the same network as your Pure Internet radio.

Your Flow internet radio must be connected to your local wireless network

The audio media you want to serve must be in a file format your radio can play. To check supported formats visit the article 'Supported formats and bit rates'

Below are instructions for Windows Media Player 12 and Windows Media Player 11

Windows Media Player 12

Start Windows Media Player, click “Stream” and click on “Turn on media streaming”

Then click on “Turn on media streaming” (see below)

Please Note: If this option has already been enabled, you will need click on More Streaming options…

You now need to click “Allow all”, however, you can specify individual devices if you wish.

Now click on Customize (see image below) alongside each device and on the following screen, select Make all of the media In my library available to this device before clicking OK.

Locating and indexing your music

When you set up a media server you need to tell the server the location of the media you want served. Telling the media server the location of your music will allow the server to start a process called indexing. Indexing allows a server to scan the entire contents of what is to be served and build its own internal library of the locations of each individual file. This helps the server quickly find the individual files you request when you start using the server.

Windows Media Player server will automatically look for, and index, any music files in the default My Music folder found in your My Documents folder. If you have your music collection in this folder then you don't need to tell the server where it is and the process of indexing will have already started. However if you have your music stored in a different folder then you will need to tell your server where that music is located so it can index and serve it.

The default setting will be folders located in My Documents - which contain all the 'My' folders – including My Music. If you want to add other locations you need to click on:

File > Manage Libraries > Music to locate the relevant paths to your locations. (as seen in below)

Please note: If your Menu bar is not visible in the player, please right click in the area denoted by the arrow and click on Show menu bar for these additional options.

This will open a new dialogue window (shown above) and allow you to manage the Music Library Locations. You will now need to click on the Add button to add other locations of stored music content.  Once you have located your chosen folder, left click with your mouse until highlighted, before finally selecting Include Folder and then OK.

You are now ready to stream your content to your Internet radio.

On your radio select the Media Player source and your radio will start automatically scanning for new servers available on the same network. If it doesn't scan or you have already performed a scan, then you can instruct the radio to search for new servers by pressing Options > Media Player Settings > Media Server > Scan For Servers.

You should now see the name of your server select this and you will see all your content, you can now select and play.

Media server doesn't work?

Media serving is pretty basic in principle but there are a number of factors that can prevent the successful set-up of any media server, and that tends to be security software. Do consider that a default install or 'clean' install of a Windows or MAC OS system - before any 3rd party software is introduced - will always result in successful media serving. It tends to be the later addition of 3rd party software that can interfere with this process. If you are having difficulties setting up your media sever then start with our troubleshooting notes found here
