6.2 Playing your PC’s Shared Media Files (UPnP)

When connected to your home WiFi network, your ARCHOS gives you the possi- bility to watch, directly on your device, shared media files (videos, music or pho- tos) stored in your PC’s Windows Media® Library.

For this to work, you will need a WiFi connection and Windows Media® Player 11 or higher installed on your PC*.

This is especially useful when you have a large library of music and video and you cannot fit it all onto the internal hard drive of the ARCHOS.

The ARCHOS uses the UPnP (Universal Plug-and-play) standard to stream shared media files from your PC’s Windows Media® Library.
