Media

The Minx Xi can access media from UPnP/DNLA Servers or USB Media connected

via USB. The Minx Xi displays the following submenus:

Media

UPnP Servers

USB Media

Queue

UPnP is by far the preferred method as it allows for browsing by artist, album and

other methods, has support for control from Wi-Fi controller and the media can be

shared amongst several devices.

UPnP servers

Your Minx Xi can connect with Computers or Network Attached Storage devices that

feature a Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) AV Server.

When using a UPnP server to share your media, the search and selection criteria

are determined by the server and not the Minx Xi, but typically include Album, Artist

and additional options such as Genre.

As long as the Minx Xi is correctly congured for your Network it will automatically

discover and connect to UPnP servers it nds when you go into the UPnP playback

menu. It will then allow navigation of the menu structure coming from that server.

There are many suitable UPnP server software packages available for PC and Mac.

Stand-alone servers and Network Attached Storage (NAS) devices with built in

UPnP server capabilities are also available. Please see the set-up guides on our

website at http://support.cambridgeaudio.com/.

Once you have setup a suitable server, navigate to the Media/UPnP Servers menu

within the Minx Xi and press Select.

The Minx Xi will perform a scan of your network and report any UPnP Servers it

nds. If none are found it will display "No Servers Found" on the display. If a server

or servers are found their names will be displayed and you can select which one

you'd like to get content from.

Select the server you want and the Minx Xi will then load the appropriate menu

structure from that sever. These typically allow you browse your content by Album,

Artist, Genre etc. It is important to understand that the menu structure here is

coming from the Server not the Minx Xi.

You can now browse and select any music content in a format the Minx Xi supports

(currently AAC, MP3, WMA, AIFF, FLAC, WAV and Ogg Vorbis).

Note: Not all servers support serving of all these formats. Always make sure the

server you choose also supports your formats of choice. For example, Windows

Media Server does not currently serve FLAC format.

Alphameric Search

This is a search function menu inserted by the Minx Xi into the browse tree of the

UPnP servers that support an external search function.

Where available you can select alphameric search and then enter the name or

partial name of an album or track you wish to nd.

Simply select each character in order using the Navigation/Select dial, rotate to

each character and then press in to select. You can also use the Skip buttons to

move forward/back a character,

to enter a character and to delete a

character.

Once nished either press the

button or navigate to the symbol and press the

Enter button on the remote or press the Navigation/Select dial.

The Minx Xi then displays all album names or track names it can nd that matches

your chosen text.

You can then simply select your chosen item and press the Enter or

button

on the remote to start it playing.

The 'Now Playing' screen

Selecting a new Station, Stream or Media item will start playback and display the

'Now Playing' screen.

The current Artist/Album and Track or Station name will be shown with the relevant

CODEC details (i.e. audio le type and bitrate/samplerate.)

For Media les the Minx Xi also shows the incremental track playback time.

You can also display the now playing screen at any time by pressing i on the remote

control.

Shuffle

Accessed via the remote only. Press the button to toggle Shufe On or Off.

The Minx Xi displays a

in the 'Now Playing' screen when Shufe is On.

If the currently selected media item/folder contains fewer than 1000 tracks the

Minx Xi generates a true random shufe of those tracks and starts playback such

that all are played once in a random order and then playback stops.

If more than 1000 tracks are contained the Minx Xi will instead pick a track at

random for playback then pick another one randomly (and without reference to

what has gone before) once the current one has nished.

This continues until Shufe is turned Off. Thus for >1000 tracks the playback of

any track may be repeated randomly.

I have been using the Cambridge Audio Minx Xi for a few years now. The most recent firmware update has been done successfully. Now I am having issues with song display on the radio stations I am using. The designated radio stations are showing in the display screen, however, the message is" Station unavailable". This ist only for the stations in Germany SWR1 Baden-Württemberg Submitted on 1-4-2022 at 14:41

I have been using the Cambridge Audio Minx Xi for a few years now. The most recent firmware update has been done successfully. Now I am having issues with song display on the radio stations I am using. The designated radio stations are showing in the display screen, however, a blank screen where the song playing should show. Any suggestions would be most helpful? Thanks.
