Hi,

While trying to stream music from PC to Phillips MCI500H DLNA audio device, the device reports “Connection interrupt” error. I’ve put the device in UPNP mode, it successfully discovered “Stream what you hear” Windows service but when I entered “Music” folder error appears. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I got it working on my MCI500H by copying the HTTP Live Streaming URL (accessed from SWYH through Tools>HTTP Live Streaming).

I then went into my Streamium Management at https://secure.philips.co.uk/myphilips/registeredProducts.jsp and clicked on the “Go To” link under “My Media”. I pasted the HTTP Live Streaming URL in the URL field and set the Mimetype in accordance with your SWYH settings (i.e. MP3 or PCM/L16) and set the description and nickname to “Stream What You Hear”.

Start playing something through your PC with SWYH running. On the MCI500H, go to Internet Radio>Favourites and then select Stream What You Hear. It should start playing. Mute your PC so you don’t hear the delay.

Hope that helps!

Hi
I confirm what Chris Yarrow said. I also have the MCI500H and I did what Chris Yarrow explained. It works OK.
I will add add another thing : Prior to copy the HTTP Live Streaming URL in the URL field, you have set SWYH to use the same HTTP port.

You go in Settings>Use specific HTTP port.
Then, you do

I then went into my Streamium Management at https://secure.philips.co.uk/myphilips/registeredProducts.jsp and clicked on the “Go To” link under “My Media”. I pasted the HTTP Live Streaming URL in the URL field and set the Mimetype in accordance with your SWYH settings (i.e. MP3 or PCM/L16) and set the description and nickname to “Stream What You Hear”.

If you don’t set “use specific HTTP port”, I noticed that SWYH change the port when you restart the computer or the software. As a consequence, the HTTP Live Streaming URL is no more valid.

I hope that the lag between the PC and the HIFI device could be solved or improved.

Anyway, the software really cool ! Nice work !
