To enable the BitTorrent feature, the Transcode Server must be installed. This
software is found on the included CD.
Note: In order to use File Sharing / BitTorrent download management, a 2.5” SATA
Hard Drive must be installed into PBO Core. Install a 2.5” SATA Hard Drive or SSD
before continuing. See section 2.2 for Hard Drive installation instructions.
When running the Transcode Server on your PC, the following screen will be
displayed:
Adding share folders to the NetShare dialog will help PBO Core quickly recognize
the folder on the network. It will be categorized under My_Neighbors.
TIPS:
Select a folder, and then click ‘OK’. The folder will be added to the NetShare dialog
as an Open Shared Folder on the intranet.
Make sure to connect to the Network and that an IP had been assigned (either
assigned from DHCP server or fixed IP) to PBO Core. If the IP for PBO Core is set
correctly, you will see the IP address when you click on “Service tab”. If it is not
shown, click on the “Scan” button to obtain an IP address.
Before accessing the File Sharing folder or BitTorrent download management, the
player will need to be set up. Go to the main menu, and then click the following:
“Setup” then “System” then “System Info”.
Click “Visit Neighbor” on Transcode Server. This will take you to the File Sharing
folders. From here you can browse all the files you have stored on the installed 2.5”
SATA HDD or SSD.
Click “Neighbor Web” on Transcode Server. This will take you to the P2P download
web user interface. From here you will be able to add/delete BT seeds. If “Login
Control” has been enabled/is “ON”, a login account and password are required.
The default account name is admin and the default password is 123.
Enable the “Login Control” of PBO Core before you click on “Account
Management”. After the Login Control is set, the system will require you to login.
