![]() To work around this problem, you can do the following:ġ) In the minimserver/data folder, check that the default.profile file is present and contains your current MinimServer configuration settings.Ģ) Delete or rename the nfig and files. This is why you are getting the error you are seeing. Unfortunately, the check for an expired updates license is done before this happens and is causing startup to fail. In fact, if you somehow managed to install and run some UPnP renderer software actually on that NAS 'computer' of yours, you'd be on the right lines of achieving your original concept.When MinimServer is started, it gets the expiry date from the online license server and updates it in your local installation. etc) are actually 'computers', so would need to be running UPnP renderer software! After all your Android phone is similarly just another computer. You certainly would not be able to get the UPnP renderer, running on and playing on the Android phone, to then be able to somehow redirect the phone's audio output over the network so that it would also output on the NAS's connection to the DAC.īTW, those devices you mentioned as examples of "hardware renderers" (Mac mini, Raspberry Pi, Cubox. In other words, in exactly the same place as a dedicated hardware UPnP renderer. So if you wanted to use the BubbleUPnP app's UPnP renderer in your set up, you'd have to physically connect the Android phone's digital audio output (if it has one) to your DAC. ![]() That means, the BubbleUPnP app's (so software) UPnP renderer running on your Android phone, turns the phone itself into the UPnP renderer (and not any other device on the network). Of course, the UPnP renderer software has also been designed to access the network so that it can be controlled by any UPnP control point running on that network, to obtain the music files to play on the device it's running on, by network streaming them from any UPnP media server on the same network. However, a software UPnP renderer can only work on the device it's running on, since it is essentially music file decoding & playing software. Yes, the BubbleUPnP Android app does have a UPnP renderer and a UPnP media server in addition to its more commonly used component of a UPnP control point. It is perhaps more accurate to say that it is needed between network and DAC, because the UPnP renderer needs a network connection to the UPnP control point as well as a network connection to the UPnP media server, which may well be running (but not necessarily) on the NAS and managing the music files stored on the NAS. Incidentally, UPnP/DLNA streamers (hardware and software ones) are not restricted to being just a DMR or just a DMP, as some can be both a DMR and a DMP.įirstly, I think it's a bit too simplistic to say that a (DAC-less) dedicated hardware UPnP renderer is "needed in betwen NAS and DAC". The DS Audio app is a remote control specifically for the Audio Station player and is not a UPnP controller. Only a DMR can be used with UPnP/DLNA controllers, such as the BubbleUPnP Android app, which 'push' the music files to the UPnP renderer from the UPnP media server.Ī DMP streams from UPnP/DLNA media servers by 'pulling' the music files to itself, ie, if it is controlled with its own user interface, so would include using its own remote control, such as the DS Audio app. ![]() It's possible that the actual issue is that the Synology NAS's Audio Station (software) music player is a Digital Media Player (DMP) and not a Digital Media Renderer (DMR). "To connect to Audio Station via mobile devices, you can download DS audio with iOS/Android devices or Windows Phone" "Audio Station can play music with live lyrics display through USB or Bluetooth speakers connected to your Synology NAS" "With Audio Station, you can also browse and play songs on the DLNA-certified Digital Media Servers" Unfortunately, I don't have a Synology NAS to verify, but isn't its Audio Station music player application supposed to support playback from UPnP/DLNA media servers through the NAS's USB audio output, using the DS Audio app?
