Initial Setup After Installation.

 

When first installed the app goes straight to the initial settings dialog to allow entering the details of your receiver(s):

 

A. “Settings” (Home Screen)

 

The following six sections only appear after at least one profile has been added:

A.1 "Handle Receiver Profiles"

A.1.1 "Add new receiver profile" see below section A.2.1

 

A.1.2 Selecting any existing profile allows:

A.1.2.1 "Select" Uses this profile for the app to work with

A.1.2.2 "Edit" Displays the "Receiver Profile Settings" screen

A.1.2.3 "Delete" Deletes the selected profile (after confirmation)

 

 

The following appear immediately the first time the app is used:

A.2.1 Receiver Profile Name Enter a name of your choice. e.g Vu+ Solo2

A.2.2 IP-Address                   Your receiver's IP address. e.g. 192.168.1.100

A.2.3 Dyn.DNS Add:                       If you have a dynamic DNS address e.g.myname.dyndns.org else leave blank
