About UPnP Network

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a set of networking protocols defined by the UPnP Forum. The objective of UPnP is to enable devices and/or facilitates at home to connect each other cordlessly, while simplifying the installation of networks at home (data sharing, communication and entertainment), or establishing a corporate setting with simplified network connections through computers or related devices. Once the UPnP is implemented, users can share multimedia files through UPnP Server terminal such as PC or NAS. On the other hand, there are products in the market like Media Player, PS3 and Xbox 360 that are built with UPnP Client terminal. Users can directly open and play files shared on UPnP Server through the network. This Media Player (Model M210) supports UPnP Client function, but it requires WIFI or Ethernet to connect to UPnP Server to make it work. Users will be able to play files on the UPnP Server through Network Streaming.

Additional Tips for UPnP Server and Player Setup For Windows Media Player
Check option in LibraryMedia Sharing or Media Streaming. This will run the execution process that will handle UPnP server. Note: It works independently and doesnt need to run WMP (Windows Media Player) but you do need to access to it for all media library management. Note: Windows Media Player can act as UPnP Server and Player (However, latter only if used on Vista) For more information, please refer to Microsoft official website that has FAQ on media sharing.

For XBMC Media Center

Previously known as Xbox Media Center, this software has become a massive open source with multiple media applications. It can act as UPnP server, player and renderer. To enable the server, go to Setting > Network > UPnP and add the content that you want to share.

For viewing the content, please add your UPnP share as the source when choosing a media file for playback.
