Step 3: Playing an Internet radio station on the MediaMVP

Click the

button on the MediaMVP remote. Click on the 

button. If you have set up the directories (the paragraph

above), you will see a 

listing. Go to this directory. In the directory, you will see a list of Internet radio stations you

have made links to.

To start playing an Internet radio station, use your remote control to select the station and then click the 

button.

If you click on a radio station and the audio does not start within a few seconds, the radio station cannot be accessed by the
MediaMVP. One reason for this is that this station cannot be accessed directly (it uses redirection to get to the station).
Another reson might be that the radio station does not transmit audio in one of the formats MediaMVP can play (currently
MP3 and WMA).

How the Internet radio stations are named, stored and played by the MediaMVP:

When you are browsing Internet radio stations while in Internet Explorer, and you right click on a link to an Internet radio sta-
tion, the MediaMVP application running on the PC makes a note of the URL the link is pointing to. The 

pop up menu then is run, allowing you to name the link and also put the link into a category (for example: Jazz), and then a
file is created in the 

directory with that name. The file extension is .MVP, and within the file is the URL of the radio

station. 

When you want to play a radio station, the MediaMVP application running on the PC opens that file, goes to the URL within
the file and then streams the audio over your network to the MediaMVP, where the audio is then played out to your TV set.

If the file holds a link which is not valid (a link which does not directly point to an Internet radio station), then the MediaMVP
radio software waits for about 1 minute before it senses that it cannot open the URL and find a radio station. MediaMPV will
then return to the Radio menu.

Tips for DivX playback 

MediaMVP's new software release supports the playback of AVI-files, which have been compressed with the DivX codec.

For a successful playback, the DivX codec has to be installed on your PC where the MediaMVP software is running. A DivX
codec can be downloaded direclty from DivX:  

(Note: chose the “standard codec”).

Known Issues:

- 

simultaneous playback of DivX videos are not possible from multiple MediaMPVs.

- 

DivX playback requires a minimum 1.8 Gigahertz Pentium4 processor or faster in your PC. If your processor is not fast
enough, you will lose lip synch as you watch your videos.

- 

MediaMVP can scale DivX videos up to full screen, but can only do this on videos of exactly 320x240 or 640x480. If your
videos are another format, they will be “letterboxed” on your TV set.

- 

After using the Fast-Forward and Fast-Rewind buttons a loss of speech synchronization may occur. 

Tips for WMA-Audio format 

To play WMA files (Windows Media Audio) with the MediaMVP, the installation of Windows Media Player 9 is required.
