Network music playback
To stream music over your network from a computer or NAS

Navigate to the Media menu, then the UPnP Servers menu and
press the rotary dial to select your server – this will appear as
you have named it in the server setup (eg. Twonky Media,
Ben's Music Library, etc).
2
The Minx Xi will now load the appropriate menus from the
selected server, allowing you to browse and play back music
from that server by scrolling and then pressing the rotary dial.
You can also browse and play using the Stream Magic app or
supplied remote control.
