Who can help please?

What I want:

My BeoSound 5 Encore should play MP3 files of my iTunes library. The library is on my Win7 PC. Connection via WLAN.

 

This already works:

BeoSound 5 Encore finds WLAN and plays Internet radio -> WLAN works.

Other WLAN devices (Loewe TV, Laptop) find published files/directories of Win 7 PC via WLAN.

 

What's missing?

BeoSound 5 Encore doesn't offer any possibility to select n.music device (under mode-settings-service) :-(

Win7 should be configured as DLNA+UPnP server.

 

 

What can I do to get this running? How can I test where the problem is?

Are there any instruction how to set this up step by step?

 

Thanks in advande,

BeoBeoBeo

The server in iTunes is not DLNA, but a iTunes-server (another protocol), and cannot be seen from the Encore.

The server on a Win7-computer is part of the WMP. It is a DLNA-server.

 

The BS5E can see this server - but it must be running.

Setup a library in WMP!

Or use another DLNA-compatible server: Twonky......... Just google for them!
