Skin
Here you can choose a skin color
(default blue or grey) for your mycast Web UI or,
if you do not want the AJAX interface because of performance
issues and you do not care about the flexibility and features
available only in AJAX, click Home Theater for a
simpler (10 ft-like) UI or the Mobile Interface to
get on your PC, the much lighter UI served to PDAs and phones. Note:
If you select any one of the two other interfaces for your
client PC, to restore the AJAX interface you will need to clear
your browser cache (in IE: Tools > Internet Options >
Delete Cookies…; in Firefox: Tools > Clear Private Data…
> Cache) and exit mycast, then log in again.
Other Settings
You can also select various
display settings for your media on mycast:
Tooltips - adjust the
tooltips setting if you want to speed up their display, and
uncheck the box altogether if you no longer want them displayed.
Pagination - set the
number of items (100 max) to be displayed for each view in the
main Content panel for your Audio, Videos, Photos or Documents,
as well as for your TV Program Guide.
Tweaks - Turn thumbnails
on/off in Details view (note that the display of thumbnails
always tends to slow down the loading of a Web page). Check the
“Always log in to the last visited application...” checkbox if
you want to be taken back to where you were last, the next time
you log in; leave this checkbox unchecked to always get to your
Home page after log in. |
