Okay, the setup is the following:
Windows 10 Professional on a powerful AMD machine
MC 28 latest build installed on Windows
On Android phone I use the app Web Video Caster (
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.instantbits.cast.webvideo)
Configuration in MC:
- Media Network is enabled
- DLNA renderer is enabled
- MC can communicate through Windows Firewall
Configuration Network:
- Windows PC and Android phone are on the same WIFI network with the same IP range.
Steps:
- in Web Video Caster select ANY media - online or local
- in Web Video Caster connect to one of MCs zones (doesn't matter which one) via DLNA
- try to push the video / image / audio to MC
Result:
- MC changes the file in the selected zone to the one that shall be played BUT in the status bar it says "<filename> File not found"
- MC does not play anything
Expected:
- in MC 26 after pushing the file from Web Video Caster over to MC the video / image / audio plays fine and everything is well
For comparison:
- the installed Macast app on Windows (
https://xfangfang.github.io/Macast/) plays files coming from Web Video Caster without any trouble on the same Windows machine!
So what is the issue here and why does MC always tell me "file not found" no matter what I push over to it via DLNA?
