Hi,
since over one year i am going with UPNP. I have several clients and checked out som several servers. Finally, MC is the best Multimedia Application I know and itīs working fine with more than 35.000 Audiofiles.
I love the UPNP thing. In the beginning Iīve got a lot of problems with connecting to the upnp server, but after new installing WINDOWS XP and MC it works ... mostly
By the way, the fastest application - I think - is TWONKY, but MC gives me definitly more things! But also some problems with my clients
Here are my expieriences:
1. NETGEAR mp101: Works fine with MC, but I have sometimes some "lost conenction" errors.
The sound of the analog output ist quite good!
2. PHLLIPPS Streamium 300 + 400. Works often also fine, but after switch on the the unit, itīs sometimes heavely to get in to MC. The MEDIA CENTER is displayed, but it shows only the AUDIO Files and no VIDEO or PICTURE files. I donīt know why.
3. PHILLIPPS SL5500. The MC is at the beginning displayed, but this client canīt get a connection to server ... until one time. The sound is not so fine like the MP101
4. NOXON2: I think this works(when itīs connected), but sometimes i canīt select MC. Itīs also displayed, but nothing happens. The sound is good. I also love the in-built Internet RAdio function and the digital output.
5. DSM100: no comment. My DSM does not work fine.
6. NEVO with HEWLETT PACKARD Handheld. I think, one time Iīve got a connection ...
I like to know:
1. why I canīt use the STEAMIUMS only with audio and not with Video and Pictures?
2. why itīs sometimes soooo heavy to get working the NOXON2 with the MC?
3. Is it possible to stream the same music to the client, I am listening directly at the same time in MC?
4. How can i improve the speed of the interacting between the clients and MC?
5. Is it possible to stream the Live TV to the upnp clients?
I would be happy, if the UPNP function will be improved in the future. The Idea is so great and thanks for this feature!
