Title: MC 14.0.50 UPNP connection to Synology NAS 407 with DM 2.2
Post by: bhensler on September 10, 2009, 03:30:34 pm

Good evening

I have been searching through all possible sources but couldn't find anything detailing how to configure MC14 to connect to an external UPNP server (Synology CS407, DLNA compliant). Right now I am still testing so didn't purchase a full version.

Do I need a plugin ? Is this doable at all ?

Thanks for any hint / tip, which supports me in getting this done.

In the tree on the left, open Services and Plug-ins.  You will see UPnP Server.   Open it and set the options (choose DLNA) and then start the server. 

I have no idea if it will work.

thanks for that quick response ...

Well, I don't want to make j.river an additional UPNP server beside my already running Synology NAS; I want it to read my music library acting as an UPNP player only. Maybe I don't properly recall, but playing around with an older version of j.river (10 ?) a while ago I meant to have seen a plugin for this kind of functionality.

Thanks

Our UPnP server is a "Device" under UPnP terms.  Maybe you want a "Renderer" to play the files.  MC doesn't do that.
