7.2  Play from media servers

The uPlay Stream supports audio streaming from DLNA and 

UPnP compatible media servers including NAS drives and 

computers with media server software installed. 

Important: You must have a uPlay Stream connected to the 

network to browse the media servers or the content in Dropbox 

/ SkyDrive. Otherwise, you can only play tracks from the local 

device.

The contents and structure vary with different media servers or 

media server software.  

 

In order to browse the media content easily, the uPlay Stream 

app provides a sorting option to the user when browsing media 

servers. Use the 

Sort

 button to turn the alphabetical sort order 

on / off:

 

Sorting off

The content order follow the default order from the media 

server database.

 

Sorting on

The content order will be sorted by alphabetical order. An 

index bar will also be available for quick access.
