Stream music from WMP to N95
 
I understand there's a way to stream music from WMP11 to a Nokia N95 using wifi, I can't find anything online to show how it's done, anyone have any ideas?

1 make sure that yor pc is on and running WMP11 (you dont have to have any music play just open)
2on your phone go to: MENU/TOOLS/CONECTIVITY/HOME MEDIA/SHARE CONTENT
3 select VISIBILITY IN NETWORK and change the setting so it says SHOW POHNE (you dont need to change any of the other setting)
4 go BACK so you now have BROWSE HOME and SHARE CONTENT and select BROWSE HOME
5 this may shoe empty, if this does dont panic it should scan and find your pc. at this point you should now have a device listed, and this is what you open
6 back on your pc you should now get a warning that a unknow device has tried to access WMP11 click on this, and you should be taken to a media sharing window.
7 click on the unknow device, then an allow then apply. then if you want customize. (at the moment i havent been able to chanhe the device name but dont panic)
8 go back to your phone and in the BROWSER HOME select the device(pc) name and you should now be shown the various folders you now have access to.
9 select music for starters, then select the folder you want, and once selecyed you will get a list of all the media in there. push OPTIONS/PLAY and select ON DEVICE. then after a short delay you should be streaming music to your phone via your home network

In fact, with Orb installed, and using the above method combined, it works fantastic. Just been playing with it.

Within Home Media on the N95, it connects to Orb on the PC. You can see all your content (including movies :)) wish you can stream straight to the N95 :)
