Uniti and "Play to" (Windows Media Player 12)

Posted by: Alamanka on 01 February 2010

Hello,

Is it possible to use the "Play to" feature of Windows Media Player 12 (Windows 7) to control the music played on the Uniti?

Thank you.

I have just tried it from my Win 7 laptop and it worked first time.
I am running the 32-bit version of Win 7 Ultimate if relevant.
Pause works (unlike the Uniti's own UPNP control!), as does skip, however skimming and volume control are are not supported.

Pausing a UpnP stream on the uniti does work...but is dependant on the UpnP software doing the serving..we run Twonkie and it works fine.

Yes, pausing works with Twonky on a Mac, but not EyeConnect, Majestic, Allegro or Playback. All of which work with other UPNP control points.
This is still an outstanding bug in the Uniti software - Twonky is just a bit more generous in its interpretation of a pause command.

Current Uniti development/fix list therefore includes 24/96 support, iPhone app support, UPNP pausing, UPNP gapless playback and various networking issues. Going to take a while...
