If your UPnP device appears in the UPnP Devices list but you
cannot open it to browse its content, there are a few things to
check:
• If you are running a firewall on a Windows PC with
UPnP enabled, you may need to create an exception
for the Windows Media Player Network Sharing
Service or UPnP Framework.
• On Windows, place your video and music files in the
Videos and Music folders of the user that is currently
logged-in. Check that the Windows user Everyone is
able to read from those folders.
• Check that your network router allows devices on your
network to talk to each other.
• Update your operating system to the latest version.
• Update OSMC to the latest version.
Uploading Files from Other Computers on the Network
Media files (particularly video files) can be quite large. If you
keep your media files on a USB storage device, it is usually
quicker to remove the device from the Pi and then connect it to
your computer. However, if you want to transfer small files (or do
not mind how long the upload process takes) then you can use
the secure copy (SCP) protocol to transfer files from your
computer to OSMC.
You need to install an SCP “client” on your computer, if you do
not already have one. For more information, see Transferring
Files to and from the Raspberry Pi on page43.
To open an SCP connection from your client software, you need
to enter the following details:
Server/Hostname: the IP address of your Pi
Username: osmc
Password: osmc
