Installing Gizmo

1. Download and install the trial version of MC15(see above) on your PC. A network is required. If you plan to use Gizmo outside your home network, you'll need to open your firewall on the port you use. This article on Network Access may be useful.

2. In MC Options for Media Network, turn on access to Library Server.

3. From your phone, visit "Market" and search for "Gizmo". Install the one from J River.

4. When you run Gizmo on your phone, you'll be asked for an access key. You can get it from Media Network options in MC. See picture below.

5. Once you enter the key, you should be able to browse your library from the phone and select media to play.
