Devices with NthPlayer software instantly configure for local networks at power on.

NthPlayer finds media in shared folders and UPnP volumes on the local network – removing the need for consumers to install special software on their computers.

Media Aggregator

NthPlayer's media aggregator automatically updates its catalog of media available on the local network, so consumers can plug-and-play.

PC Streaming

NthPlayer streams media directly from the hard drives of networked computers – eliminating the need for consumers to sync or copy.

Zero Configuration

Devices running NthPlayer use a technology called zero configuration networking so DVD players, TVs, or other devices with NthPlayer software instantly configure when connected to home networks.

Zero configuration networking is 100% automatic for wired networks. For WiFi networks, NthPlayer only needs to know the wireless network's name – chosen from a list of found networks – and password.

Users can also configure NthPlayer's network manually. This allows devices running NthPlayer to run in offices and other environments where network administrators require tighter control of network resources.

Windows, Mac, Unix

NthCode player automatically finds and connects to shared folders on the network using the common Samba and UPnP file sharing protocols. If there is a shared folder on just about any computer made in the last decade anywhere on the local network, NthPlayer will find it.

A Windows user only needs to right click on a folder, select sharing, and enable access. NthPlayer will then automatically find the media inside. The folder-sharing process is similar for Mac and Unix machines.

For consumers, NthPlayer eliminates software installation and compatibility headaches. For electronics companies, NthPlayer removes the need to provide – and support – additional software with their devices.

Media Aggregator

NthPlayer's media aggregtor automatically updates its internal metadata database so that users see all currently playable videos and music.

When a machine comes on the network, NthPlayer automatically sees it and adds its shared music and videos to the database. When a machine goes off the network, its cataloged media is hidden from the user until the machine reconnects.

No hassle. No confusion.

And NthPlayer periodically (and intelligently) rescans the shared folders and UPnP volumes of network attached PCs to add or remove media from its internal metadata database.

PC Streaming

Since NthPlayer knows where all the music and videos are located on the network, it streams them directly from that computer to your device running NthPlayer software. This eliminates the need to copy or sync media between computers and devices running NthPlayer.

Smarter Networking

Make no mistake about it: This is hard technology to get right. But we've figured it out to deliver the quantum leap that's needed to make consumer electronics work well in today's networked-media world.

Connected

Devices running NthPlayer automatically connect to home networks and don't require installation of cumbersome PC software to find and play videos and music.
