Title: JRiver does not see any of my players (ChromeCast and Squeezebox)
Post by: john greenwood on September 01, 2019, 08:28:06 pm

I have a number of players:

I have several ChromeCast Audio players (running BubbleUPnP)
I have several SqueezeBox Players (running LMS in background)

None of them show up under Playing now/players

Running JRiver 25.0.95 32 bit and media sever (generic DLNA sever) on a Windows 10 machine.

Can anyone help?  I couldn't find any help in the Wiki.

Take a look at the Media Network topic on our wiki.

MC uses its own protocol with Library Server.  It also uses DLNA / UPnP to talk to other devices.  Those you have don't use either protocol, as far as I know.

As I mentioned above, I have already looked at the Wiki,

Bubbleupnp works with Chromecast.  I have gotten it to work in the past.

And it seems to me you have as well.[?]  See https://yabb.jriver.com/interact/index.php/topic,116092.msg802254.html#msg802254

And this weekend, I helped my brother get BubbleUPnP working as a link between JRiver and ChromeCast.

I am not so sure about the Squeezeboxes.  I was surprised when my brother told me his JRiver saw them without his needing to do anything beyond having LMS running in the background.

I should note that I assume I am overlooking something stupid.  I just don't know what it is.

try rolling back to 0.94 and see if it works...

Reinstalled everything - it finds the ChromeCasts, but not the Squeezeboxes.  But it never found those in the past.  Not sure how my brother's worked.

Edit - now solved it for the Squeezeboxes - needed a plug-in
