I need your help to understand how dlna works.
I have set up my xmas scene with Siri switching on everything. The only missing piece is the xmas song. I have of course a raspberry, a dlna receiver connected to my Tivoli audio and an android tablet mounted on a wall with bubble upnp. From the tablet I can stream music, sometimes I need to restart the player (my receiver is probably bad quality) but it usually works.
Now I added the dlna receiver app but even if I see my song in the dlna list, it is very unstable and today it does not play the song
Could you pls suggest me the more stable solution for what I am looking to build?
Thanks
Hi, I suggest you to use Media Renderer Events, It has Radionomy stations, and some christmas stations.
If you want to use your local music , remember you must to hava a DLNA server. please read the first post to known about control point and local storage.
Iāve tried it and it worked once with a song played from the Android tablet then it stopped. I was able to use Media Renderer Events with the radio, I was trying to have my song.
Will try to install the dlna media server on the raspberry
where is your song? remember the song must to be available every moment, some people send music from phone to speakers, but that song just remain while the phone its send it, if you have the song in a server, ST can access it , any time
Is there a definitive guide on how to get this working with Google Home for announcements?
I installed BubbleUPnP server on my NAS
I selected āCreate DLNA rendererā in the Google Home device
Using BubbleUPnP on an Android phone I can see both the Google Home device and another one with (DLNA) in the name
Then on to the SmartThings side of thingsā¦
I installed the MediaRenderer Service Manager app (Iāve tried both the old one and the beta)
I installed the MediaRenderer Player
I go into the Android app and go into discovery and it seems to just be stuck in a loop. I see a lot of debug events in the log for MediaRenderer device found[devicetype:04, mac:501AC571E057, ip:0A0000C2, port:0B35, blah blahā¦ and MediaRenderer device found[devicetype:04, mac:5CAAFD24718E, ip:0A000096, port:0578
The Sonos device for example just appears to be getting pinged over and over every 5 or 6 seconds, but the discovery part of the setup never finishes.

Hi, sorry , the beta its just to confirm that is possible to talk with several cast, it overrides the network id, The weekend Iām going to drive the messages to each cast, but I have been very busy. just wait some days to work on it.
Thanks! Eagerly awaiting Multiple ChromecastCast App Update for Connectā¦I have 9 Chromecast Audio and 4 Google Homes that I have setup with BubbleUPnP Server running on ShieldTV (Android) .Please let me know if I can help in any way to test etcā¦
Hi there, I installed this smartapp and the device handler to control a squeezebox SB3/Classic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squeezebox_(network_music_player)). The discovery process worked perfectly and found my Logitech Media Server (DLNA). The media renderer was correctly added, however the only thing I can successfully control from SmartThings is volume (on/off, slider). The rest of the functionalities are not working. Did someone have the same problem and fixed it? Many thanks.
I tried to use it with Pure Flow One and it finds it!
The issue is that it doesnāt work Itās saying that itās playing but it doesnāt. Even if I turn on manually and I try to stop it nothing happen.
Another weird thing happen: via app it keeps saying āplayingā even if I stop it after few seconds it changes the status back to āplayingā but nothing can be ear.
Hi @lucalor, I think the speaker its not connecting, maybe the ip or port have changed, just try to run again the find function to check if the ip its updated, but Its necessary to watch the logs to verify if the speaker does somethings strange with the id.
HI @viguera, the normal Generic Media Renderer works fine with 1 google home or chromecast, the problem its when there are mor than one, I upload to github a test to verify with multiple chromecast devices, but its just a test I need to make some mods to get multiple chromecast working ,
