5.4. Using The Media Centre
Your Sure TV Box will recognise and play compatible
media stored on your home network if it has been
setup to support DLNA. Please note that some files
which you have downloaded to your computer may
have digital rights controls which will not allow you
to play them back on another device. Your Sure TV
Box will detect the shared Window’s Media Player
(WMP) content. In order to read your files with your
Sure TV Box, you will need Windows Media Player
version 11 or higher.
WMP11: To view files from your PC on your TV, open Window’s Media Player on your PC. Click on Library on
the left side of the window and click on Media Sharing. Select the option to Share media and click Ok to save.
Your Sure TV Box will be identified as Unknown Device. Select the unknown device and click “Allow” then
“Ok”.
WMP12: To view files from your PC on your TV, open Window’s Media Player on your PC. Click on “Stream”
from the horizontal menu and Select “Automatically allow devices to play my media”.
You can also use other third party UPnP Media Server software which is available for PCs and MACs, such as
TVersity or EyeConnect.
Please note that the presentation of the content on your networked devices are provided by your media
server (e.g. Window’s Media Player) therefore your media server may not display all of your media flies.
You will be able to play the following unprotected flies on your Sure TV Box:
o Music: MP3, FLAC, WAV and WMA
o Video: WMV, MPEG, H.264, FLV, MOV and AVI
o Pictures: JPEG, GIF, PNG and TIFF
You can also connect supported external storage devices to the USB port of your Sure TV Box. To be
compatible, your storage device must be a standard “mass storage” device formatted in FAT, FAT32, ext3 or
NTFS. This includes most USB storage devices, portable hard drives and many MP3 players and digital cameras.
If you are having trouble setting up media sharing please consult the user manual of the application/operating
system you are using as we cannot provide instructions on 3
rd
party software. However if you are using
Windows 7 and Windows Media Player 12 there is a useful guide from Microsoft available here:
