The normal place to run BubbleUPnP Server is (as its name suggests) on a 'server' type box - one that's intended to be up 24/7. The dCS Network Bridge does not support OpenHome, so would require the BubbleUPnP Server. when I switched to Ubuntu I wanted to try something without the Java dependency. Perhaps BubbleUPnP Server would fix this? Kazoo saw the server but not the dCS NBR renderer. Last night, it recognized the Chromecast dongle on our TV and not only played to it, but displayed a nice background picture of the band while scrolling the lyrics to Blood, Sweat & Tears' Lucretia MacEvil (unfortunately Lucy's lyrics are still playing in my head ) Plus, it's so very well done and flexible across platforms. I no longer maintain tags in my files and their "prefer file" options work much better now. Let me also add that I'm experimenting with Roon, and it has really come along nicely since I last saw it. I don't use tags and it works well with my file structure. They advertise lean binaries and I've had zero problems with it. I was using MinimServer but when I switched to Ubuntu I wanted to try something without the Java dependency. I already had the latest Java runtime installed for another app. Eezupnp was crashing with what appeared to be a Java error. I saw several posts yesterday where you've responded to these types of questions so it must be an area of interest/expertise.Īctually I tried both of them yesterday without luck. For example: an album's tracks being presented in track name (ie alphabetical order) instead of track number order, basic navigation functions like pause not working, flooding the network with "I am here" UPnP discovery multicast packets, etc!
I'm only asking because some versions of Twonky have got the reputation of being a bit buggy - therefore not behaving very well with the controller app and other devices on the network. What UPnP/DLNA renderer(s) do you intend to control?īTW, assuming it's just for streaming audio files, what's your reason for using Twonky on your Linux box, instead of a perhaps more recommended audio file dedicated and well supported UPnP media server, like MinimServer or Asset UPnP? I normally use the more sophisticated OpenHome controller, Linn Kazoo, on Windows, but that's only possible because all of my standard UPnP/DLNA renderers also support OpenHome - either natively or with the help of the BubbleUPnP Server (via its Created an OpenHome renderer function). If you don't mind something basic that just works and supports gapless playback, eezUPnP is worth a try:
