•
Access songs and playlists you’ve created from both subscription and purchase options and those
you’ve ripped from CDs.
•
Organize and view slideshows of your digital photos—accompanied by music you choose.
When you set up or update your Media Library, it includes content from the following sources:
•
Folders on this PC
•
Other media libraries, including online media services that you have installed on this PC and on other
networked PCs
•
Shared folders on networked PCs
The Media Library maintains an index of supported content and navigates to the appropriate location in order to
play back media.
We recommend you automatically create your Intel Viiv Media Library when you set up the software for the
first time. However, you can wait until you add a media device at a later date. When you start the process it can
take several hours to process all of your media depending on the number of files you have on your system.
While the media library is being created you may notice your PC running slower than normal. It will return to
normal when the indexing has been completed.
Add a Device to Your Network
Your home network needs to be set up prior to adding a media device. There are a couple of methods you can
use to set up your network:
•
Follow your router manufacturer’s instructions.
•
Follow the instructions provided in Microsoft* Windows Vista*.
Network Setup Notes
•
If a network is not detected, make sure that you have Internet connectivity. If you do not have an
Internet connection, remove the router from the system and connect the modem directly to the PC.
When Internet connectivity is restored, use the router manufacturer’s software to set up your
home network.
•
If you are adding a device to your home network using an Intel Viiv technology-based PC,
connect the router directly to the PC. If the device you are adding has wireless LAN, once the
device is added, you can disconnect the router from the PC and move the PC to another location.
•
Make sure you select either the Home or Work option when setting up your network. Do not
select Public—some features will not be available.
Before you begin
Before you begin adding an Intel Viiv technology-verified device to your network using the Intel Viiv software,
you will need the following:
•
A working home network
•
Intel Viiv technology-verified devices such as Network Media Devices
•
High-speed broadband Internet Service Provider
