You don’t need any additional software or configuration. 8player works with the media server you already have and automatically recognizes devices in your network with no need of manual configuration or settings. Just turn it on and watch video, listen to the music or view images in the network. If you don’t have DLNA/UPnP servers, you can use an embedded Windows 7 server (built in Windows Media Player), or download any other free server.
