Streaming Music from a smart phone / tablet to the DAS
This procedure differs slightly from device to device, so outlined here is a generic procedure that will be
similar to that required:
1. The audio server must be networked. Connect a LAN cable between the audio server LAN port and
your router.
2. Set up a connection between your smart device and the audio server. This can be done using a
procedure such as the below, however this does differ from device to device.
3. Make sure your smart device is connected to your home network via WiFi. If you are not sure how to
do this, information on how to do this can be found on the internet or in your smart device manual.
4. On your smart device: You first need to install and set up Official XBMC Remote (iOS Apple) or
Yatse (Android). See section Installing & Setting up XBMC & Yatse Remote Apps.
5. Once XBMC Remote has been installed, you should be able to access your music files on your
smart device (e.g. On Android: All Apps → Music).
6. Once in Music, there should be an icon for selecting a player, possibly at the top of the screen.
Choose Select player.
7. Then under WiFi player you should see something like XBMC, XBMC (caasaudio) or CAAS Audio
Server, select this and hit Done.
8. Any music files you play on your smart device should now be sent to the DAS.
9. Note this procedure does differ from device to device and for iOS systems but the information you'll
need is readily available on the internet.
Viewing USB connected devices on tablets & smart phones
If you wish to use a USB attached storage device and view and access all files via a smart phone or tablet
you will need to add the USB attached device as a source on the DAS or build an XBMC Music Library.
By adding the USB device as a source in a way similar to adding a UPnP or SMB server it should appear on
your smart device.
On a HDMI connected TV (using either a CEC TV remote or a smart device) from the home screen select:
1. Music → Files → Add source→ Browse.
2. Then scroll down to root file system and select.
3. Then scroll down to media and select.
4. The USB connected device will be shown here.
5. Select the USB device.
6. The device will then be added to the source list found from the home screen via Music → Files.
To view the music file information on a smart device, you will need to build a library. See section
Building an XBMC Music Library.
