View source for HowTo Use XineNet Desktop

{{outofdate}}
'''''XineNet Desktop''''' should be installed on edit1, edit2, gfxpc and OffPC, along with a few laptops. It's designed to be very easy to use. 

# When it starts up, look in the bottom right, it should say "Connected to ystvvidsrv". 
# If it doesn't, go to ''File'' > ''Settings'', change ''Host'' to '''[[ystvvtsrv]]''' (and the port to '''9815''').
# Hit OK and restart the program.
::* If it still won't connect, that PC probably has network issues. 
::* On OBs these settings will be different.

The main controls are ''File'' > ''Open Playlist'', ''Play'', and ''Stop''. You can work out the rest. 

Remember, after starting XineNet and opening the playlist, '''play the whole thing once'''. It will update the ''Duration'' for each video as they play, so the countdown will be accurate next time the list is played.
