How to play media

Este artigo irá explicar quatro maneiras de utilizar vídeos, áudios e imagens via UMS.

1: Play from a renderer interface

Quando o seu renderizador externo esta conectado ao UMS via DLNA/UPnP, normalmente ele ira exibir um menu chamado Servidores de mídia, Media Servers ou similar dependendo do renderizador. A partir dai, é possível conectar se ao UMS e navegar até o conteúdo que deseja acessar.

A implementação disto varia entre os renderizadores, porem a funcionalidade principal é a mesma; navegue até a mídia escolhida e dê o play.

2: Push from the UMS interface to a renderer

The UMS interface itself has the ability to "push" media to renderers if they support the UPnP feature. It is a similar concept to casting.

1. Open the UMS UI and identify the renderer you want to push media to. In this case it is the Panasonic VIERA VT60 Series TV.
   
2. Click on the renderer image to open the control panel
   
3. Choose the file you want to push by clicking the folder icon on the lower right, and it will be filled in on the lower left. If you do not see the player controls in this window, your renderer does not support this functionality. Be sure to check for firmware/software updates to your renderer as they may have added support for it
   
4. Now you can either create a playlist by clicking the plus icon to the immediate right of the input box, or you can push the file to your renderer by clicking the play icon just above the middle of the input box, which will start it playing on your renderer.

3: Play on the web interface

The web interface can be accessed anywhere within your local network, including on computers and renderers. In many ways it offers our most advanced UI and features.

1. Open the web interface. If you know the address you can go to that, otherwise an easy way is to click the Web interface button on our UI
   
2. Clicking that will open the web interface in your default browser. From there you can navigate to your file and click to play it
   

4: Push from the web interface to a renderer

Similar to above in option 2, you can push your media to a renderer via our web interface.

1. Clicking the little cast icon for a file when browsing a directory. It is on the lower right of the thumbnail.
   
2. That will make a mini floating control panel appear, which you can use to control playback of the file, and manage dynamic playlists if you choose.
