Download OpenHome Player for your PC

OpenHome Player for Windows is an inobtrusive media streamer which sits in your system tray allowing you to stream high quality digital audio from your network servers and internet streaming services to your PC. The application runs on Windows Vista or later.

Installation instructions

The application is distributed as a Windows Installer package. Simply run the installer and select an install location. Once the installation is complete, you should see the OpenHome Player icon on your desktop. Double-click the icon to start the player; the application will run in as a ‘system tray’ task.

To stream audio to the Player, use your OpenHome controller (eg Linn Kazoo or Bubble DS) to find your Player on the network. The player will use the same name as the PC it is running on. Select the Player as the current renderer, choose some tracks to play and you’re ready to go!
