Once you are done with setting up an UPnp on your windows machine then you have to add the media files to the library of Windows Media Player 11. Click on the Library and then click on an Add to library which will add media files to the database. But please note that there are limited file formats which can work with Windows Media Player’s library as Windows Media Player 11 only supports a limited video formats.

Prior to configuring UPnP Media Player, You have to setup the network and pass network through LAN or WLAN on your computer. Gaze at the TV screen to operate O!Play then go to the Home page by Home page > All Media/ Movies / Music/ Photos files. If you wish for to watch the video files, select “All Media” or “Movies” to continue, click “OK” and enterUPNP”. Select the “Share my media” and an (unknown Device) icon then select an unknown device and click on Okay.

Because that the device appears in the Network Connections (Network / Properties) Of Windows XP and you can view the current connection settings, and even cut the connection of the device to the Internet. This latter option in a corporate network, not jokers is open , you should have disabled the connection control of UPnP in the router setup better.
