7 Music Streaming

7.1 Network Music Player

Olive offers its own network music player to allow stream- ing of music from the Olive 4HD to additional rooms. Therefore, 3rd party network players are not actively supported.

7.2 Streaming from a PC/MAC/NAS to Olive 4HD

The Olive 4HD incorporates local storage to allow quick and reliable access to your music content. Therefore we recommend consolidating your music onto the Olive 4HD hard drive, where it is safe from usual computer problems (malware/viruses etc.). Olive provides limited support to streaming from external sources, currently focusing on Tversity (PC) and Twonky Media (Mac).

7.3 Your Music in iTunes & Windows Media Player

Music stored on your Olive 4HD can be accessed in most UPnP DLNA compatible software such as iTunes and Windows Media Player. The Olive 4HD library will appear as a separate music source in these software packages.

iSome software packages (e.g. iTunes) do not support the FLAC format and this music will therefore not be accessible.

8 Support

8.1 Software Updates

Olive constantly updates the software for your product so check regularly if a new update is available. Simply go to SETTINGS > SYSTEM SERVICES and select SOFTWARE UPDATE. If you do not have internet access at home you can also upload the software update via a USB stick.

8.2 Recovery

A recovery erases the hard drive of your Olive 4HD and installs the operating system and CD database from scratch. All music and playlists are lost, therefore, this should only be done if you have first spoken with Olive’s support team. To do a recovery you need a USB stick with at least 4GB of memory. Please contact us at support@olivehifi.com on how to perform a recovery.

8.3 Backup

It is always a good idea to backup your music regularly. To do so please format a USB hard drive in FAT32 and go to SETTINGS > SYSTEM SERVICES and select BACKUP. Follow the on-screen instruction and connect the USB hard drive only when prompted. A pop-up window will confirm when the backup process has started.

iThe backup process will erase all data stored on your exter- nal hard drive, and replace it with the backup files. Make sure you are using a dedicated hard drive for this process.

iThe capacity of the USB hard drive should be at least as big the amount of capacity used on on your Olive 4HD (see

SETTINGS > ABOUT YOUR OLIVE).
