I have forkedDAAPD running and can play the songs on devices that can use the DAAP protocol.Īlso with the upnp/dlna stuff. So in the meantime, I have figured it out. Is anyone reading this thread any more? My challenge is purely music (sound, no video). I have forked-daapd running as well, but it cannot be used by the current android progran nor does it allow me to copy an album or all the songs in a playlist to my phone/tablet. I want this to run as a service as on a server and not as a user program. Ushare installed and was easy to configure. I tried to set up rygel on the tower, but do not know what I did wrong, but I was confused as to how to tell it that my media was in a different directory than 'My Music'. Also, I need to 'accept' each transfer which is a pain. The Program on my Motorola phone (just labeled DLNA) sees the share then allows me to copy multiples, but complains at each one saying that it cannot play the sound format, though it does just fine. I have tried almost all of them, Skifta, Eminent, UPnPlay, ShareMe, BubbleUp, etc. The ones that can see the server just give a list of songs (a couple give a list of albums, Woo Hoo) but will not allow a playlist or copying more than one song at a time to my phone/tablet. is this mission impossible?Īrrgh! There appears to be nothing that 'just works' and supports more than just 'file transfer' type media playing/syncing.Īll the apparently 'full featured' android programs cannot see my server (ushare running on my tower). ![]() So I am getting a bit frustrated, seeing my friends with Sonos and Apple just plugging in their systems and running. Then there are tons of others (Rygel, forked DAAPd, miniDLNA, Servioo, MediaTomb.) but how the heck should the amateur me have time to try all these to see if they work with AndroMote? Then there is Firefly - promising but not detected by AndroMote. Although I have to give XBMC credit for good support and active development - they even have a very good Android remote app - but the idea of "one ring to bind them" is not that of XBMC. XBMC is the only one I've found which AndroMote detects as a UPnP server but XBMC completely clogs my 5 year old laptop since it is also a media player with a almost 3D interface - so the fan is spinning like loud as a helicopter as long as XBMC is running. The problem is finding both a media server and renderer supporting this! ![]() For this, a very nice app exists called AndroMote. The Androids should be the media renderers. To start with, the setup has to use UPnP/DLNA and a 1) media server 2) media controller and 3) media renderer. I have 3x Linux based laptops and 2x Androids (wife and me) and I cannot believe that it's impossible to create a Sonos like setup with Linux?! My friends have Sonos, playing music all around their house with a remote control. ![]() I am getting a bit frustrated since I've been spending days to setup a multimedia network at home.
