you have more than one computer sharing media, the alternatives are listed.

From this point on, the menus are generated from the shared media server
(typically Windows Media Player).
The first menu shows a list of media types, for example Music, Video, Pictures
and Playlists. M3+ can only play music and playlists.
There is also a search function, which finds tracks in a similar way to Internet
radio search

server has been seen before and supports Wake-on-LAN functionality, but
cannot currently be found on the network.

possible as the server may not be connected to the network any more or may
be switched off.

if the device is moved to a new network or if a Wake-on-LAN server is
removed from your current network.
