I am trying to get my NevoSL to push a song from the NevoMedia Server 2.0 (or Windows Media Connect 2) to a Roku SoundBridge. I am using hte NevoStudio 1.1. I get a message on the SoundBridge 'Unable to play uPnP song'. I was wondering if any body had got this comination to work.

I can get the Servers to send files to the Soundbridge if I use a PC based controller like Cidero, but not withthe NevoSL.

Can you you get the NevoMedia Server to show up on the Roku's interface? (on the actual Roku's screen)

Try finding the server from the Roku first, see if it'll browse and play the content of that server, and then using the NevoSL to control the content.

I'm assuming that you already created a media zone with the Nevo software being the server and the soundbridge being the player, right?

I found the fix with a little help from UEI. They do respond to bugs logged on their system.

They suggested ensuring that only one server was running. I had both WMC and Nevo Media Server running. I also removed and recreated the Media Zones. Not sure which of the changes was the crutial one, but it now works.

I like to use WMC instead of Nevo Media Server, but when I go to my Media Zones and click on a zone, I see the name of the server but no music, pictures or video's.

Which server do you have running now?

Interesting...Nice to know we can add Roku to the list of UPnP device which will communicate with the Nevo Media Server.

After I did the upgrade the other day, I couldn't seem to get WMC to be recognized. I didn't spend a ton of time on it but it would not come up in the Content Source pulldown, on the Media Zones tab. I seem to recall it did come up before, when I had both Nevo Media Server and WMC on the target pc.

Dave,

I thought it was something on my machine I could not WMC get it to appear either, but just like you I did not spend too long trying to get it too work, having got NevoMedia Server to work.

My intention is to investigate using Twonky on a Linksys NSLU2. I am currently running mt-daapd on the Linksys but it is iTunes compatible not uPnP :-(

MC

Aah that's the same problem I have, but I don't want to use the bloated Nevo Server, the compleet Nevo manager is 70MB....

Cool... they are adding to the documentation on mynevo website everyday!!! They just added a list of UPnP server and players supported!

I think this info is for dealers only??

If an end user installs the Nevo Studio software to obtain IR codes they have to register with UEI online to gain access to the UEI database. This login will then allow them to access the dealer information.

MC

If I use that login as dealer login I get a wrong username/password error.

Any further update on WMC recognition problem in Nevo Studio after the update to 1.1? The UPnP supported Players and Servers list (where it says that the WMC is supported) seems to have been published for Nevo Studio 1.0. Wake up UEI ...!!!

I'm wondering if anyone has figured out how to use nevomedia server/player in conjuntion with an Apple Airport Express. I would love to be able to control my itunes or just stream my music to my home stereo and control it with the NevoSL.

Hi rkdiddy,

The nevomedia server is a upnp server. It follows the Universal Plug N Play standard. It will also need a upnp renderer such as Dlink DSM-320 to stream music to. I am afraid iTunes or Apple Airport Express do not follow this standard. If you already have Apple computer and Airport Express, you will not be able to control the music with Nevo-SL. You will have to invest in DSM-320 or DSM-120 (if your requirement is only to stream Music) which can be connected to your Stereo System. You will also need a upnp music server such as TwonkyVision on your Apple Computer. TwonkeyVision is available for Windows as well as Mac. This combination should let you control the music with NEVO-SL.

If you have not bought NEVO-SL already, and your requirement is to be able to stream songs on your computer to your stereo, you could consider an option of adding Roku M-500. This will work with iTunes out-of-the-box. Added advantage would be that Roku also works with upnp music servers (It is a upnp device itself). So it will work with TwonkyVision on Mac as well as any other upnp server on some other Windows machine also.

One word of caution though. Although all these pieces of hardware and software seemingly follow the upnp standard, not every combination of hardware and software will work. I myself have Windows and Mac machines, at least 4 to 5 different upnp software servers (Nevo media server, Windows Media Connect, D-Link media server, TwonkyVison etc etc), a DSM-320 and a Roku M-500. But only certain combinations work. It will be good idea for you to keep reading the discussions on this forum for a long period before you make up your mind.
