The cryptic message posted here seems to indicate that the Idyl Media Server now speaks the Escient protocol which means that you can likely use the built-in Escient device in the 9600 to control this server. They specifically did not mention if the Movie device was supported so let's see.

What has to be done? Very likely that it is nothing more than specifying the IP address on the Escient Device Properties and selecting the type of device you want. Movies or Music.
