SPECIFIC UPNP PLAYER ADDRESS VLC WINDOWS

Hope you find the answers you are looking for. My thoughts are to go onto speak/web-chat with Sonos Support via this LINK, to see if they can perhaps provide any further suggestions for you to try. but thought you may want to see it anyway and perhaps message the user, by all accounts the user is using an SMB v1 share, rather than a ‘media server’ setup. I did a quick search and came across this thread below, but I find it somewhat confusing, as it mentions going through a shared library setup, rather than accessing a UPnP service?. so I’m really at a loss as to why both UPnP servers you have tried are not showing up in the Sonos App and the fact they are working with other UPnP clients like VLC Media Player, makes it even more baffling? With your Move on WiFi and your other speakers on SonosNet I would have expected things to work and particularly as you mention the Lenovo tablet is virtually straight out the box.

If I use VLC Media Player or Windows Media Player I can see the files on the server and play them remotely without a problem, but the Sonos controller does not display the server when I look at the Browse screen, or anywhere else for that matter.Ĭan anyone suggest things to try that they think I may have missed? Unfortunately I don’t think Sonos document exactly what they support in terms of DLNA, so I’m working in the dark a bit here. I chose to use Rygel as the server (rather than MiniDLNA, which has not been maintained for years), and it was almost trivial to set up. It turns out that setting up the UPnP server was easy under Linux, but getting the Sonos controller to see it is not!

When I was having trouble getting shared folders working (my environment is Linux, which involves configuring SAMBA which is not exactly simple) it was suggested that setting up a UPnP media server instead should be easier. I know this has been asked before, but not for quite a while, so I’m hoping things may have improved, or there may be some more relevant recent experience.
