Connecting to UPnP Devices
Universal plug and play (UPnP) is a collection of networking
protocols that allows devices on a local network to find each
other, to find out what type of services and files other devices
offer, and to share those files.
You can setup your PC or Mac so that OSMC on the Raspberry
Pi can play the media files from it. On Mac OS X and Linux
machines, you will need to install and configure a UPnP media
server, such as MediaTomb (http://www.mediatomb.cc).
Microsoft Windows has a built-in UPnP server, but this is usually
disabled when the operating system is installed.
To enable the UPnP server on Windows (8/7/Vista):
1. Press the Windows logo key + R. Type control.exe
/name Microsoft.NetworkAndSharingCenter and
then press Enter.
2. On Windows 8/7: click Change advanced sharing
settings. On Windows Vista: click the arrow to the
right of Network Discovery.
3. Click the box next to Turn on network discovery,
and then click Save changes (or Apply on Vista).
To enable the UPnP server on Windows XP:
1. Press the Windows logo key + R. Type appwiz.cpl
and then press Enter.
2. Click Add/Remove Windows Components.
3. Click Networking Services, then click Details.
4. If it is not selected, click the box next to Internet
Gateway Device Discovery and Control Client.
5. If it is not selected, click the box next to UPnP User
Interface.
6. Click OK.
