#1 UPnP Bridge
Hi Philippe,
I'm trying to get to grips with the UPnP Bridge plugin, squeeze2upnp under LMS/Daphile running on a QNAP TS431P2 NAS (Linux version Linaro armv71). The Daphile clients run on a few laptops.
And for once I read the Squeeze2upnp UserGguide!
Through the WebUI I did not get nearly all UPnP devices that are present on the network. So, after reading the user guide, I thought I would try via the SSH console.
After sorting everything out, eventually I ran the command:
./squeeze2upnp-armv6hf-static –i –x config.xml
(as per user guide, this binary is also automatically selected in the web UI)
...and ended up with a file called -x. After renaming the file to config.xml, not trivial given the file name -x, I still ended up with an incomplete list. All devices were turned on etc.
I then thought I could edit the config.xml file to add the missing UPnP devices manually (though I don't know if this will work). However, In the file I see that MAC addresses are required. One of the missing UPnP devices is a network streamer called SMSL DP3. It uses gmediarender and HiBy streaming firmware. It has a very nasty quirk, though: every time it boots up, it has a different MAC address! Its UUID remains the same as far as I can see , however.
So I really have two questions:
1. Can I add missing UPnP renderers manually by editing the config.xml (or other files)? Any possible pitfalls I should be aware of?
2. Is there a way to incorporate the SMSL DP3 streamer into the UPnP bridge given the fact that the MAC address is constantly changing? For example, by disallowing the streamer to change its MAC address all the time, or by not stating the MAC address in config.xml file?
LMS 7.9.2 on the QNAP NAS is a separate, stand-alone media server, and can be used by daphile directly but also by other UPnP clients (with BubbleUPnP as control point).
Thanks & best regards
Marco
I barely look at tickets here, it would be better if you move either to github or (better) to the squeezebox forums. But, in a nutshell
1/ The command line you've set is incorrect, the -i parameter requires a filename and here it believes that -x is the filename ...
2/ You cannot manually add player in config file
3/ the mac address hange should not be a problem b/c I'm using UUID to identify players and to build a "fake" mac for LS, s it should stay the same all the time.
4/ If it's not detected, it either ona different (sub)network or does not respond to discovery requests
