Add-In: FirePlay for Windows Home Server 0.90.06

FirePlay for Windows Home Server has been updated to version 0.90.06

The add-In automates the install of FirePlay for the Home Server and configures the Windows Firewall and also your Router if it supports UPNP. FirePlay is a Flash based client for accessing the Firefly Media Server which comes pre-installed on the MediaSmart Server. It will allow you to play your music through your browser, without needing any other media player. It will therefore allow you to access your music remotely if you have remote access switched on.

In this latest version:

  • Added a favicon
  • Improved the FirePlay Service to resolve Remote Access detection issues.
  • Resolves bug where Remote Access status is switched after install caused upnp issue.
  • Now generates a health alert if it can’t find FireFly.
