Finding DLNA renderer in "Playing Now"
PhDSM:
PC is connected to a switch, Pi's are connected either direct or via a Wifi AP , there are a total of 4 switches and 3 Wifi AP (and 4 raspberry Pi's) All are on the same Local network 192.168.1.xx.
When they are not found by MC they are still visible in windows explorer.
What do you mean by "Try running Media Server on Windows startup." .
Currently both MC and MS are running on startup. do you mean starting only MS and then starting MC manualy ?
JimH:
Can you move things to eliminate switches? Just to test? Simplifying the setup might give you a clue about what's wrong.
Why so complex?
If you have set MC to start Media Server on Windows Startup in MC's Startup options, that's all I meant. It's a small footprint version of MC. I'm thinking that something is slow and doing that should help.
JimH:
I don't use switches but I believe you have multiple network segments and the traffic you want isn't getting there.
I realize that Windows sees things differently, but we really don't know how.
This has some basic information: https://netcert.tripod.com/ccna/internetworking/lanseg.html
Unless you have to have them (a lot of devices), I would try building a network without them.
JimH:
MC uses SSDP to discover UPnP devices. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_Service_Discovery_Protocol
Mark's description above is excellent.
SSDP uses multicast and I don't believe it can transit segments.

Aside FYI: Within my LAN, I sometimes need to wake up the MC Server from sleep "remotely", i.e. from a different room. I use an Android Wake on Lan app to do that. Once in a while I also restart the server PC "remotely" as well. In both cases, I can then resume MC music play with the Android apps without ever walking over to the server i.e. without ever logging in to my Windows desktop.
