UPnP 2025 - Continuation of the original UPnP/DLNA plugin

[BoringName]

this is the last

Sorry, just so I have this right. The Marantz plays the album correctly but stops at the end of track 11. Does it attempt to play track 12 at all or does it stop dead after track 11 finishes?

The plugin is setting track 12 as the NextURI successfully so all the Marantz has to do is transition to it after 11 finishes. The plugin doesn't control that aspect. If you told me it starts to play track 12 and then stops, that could imply the Marantz doesn't like the plugin clearing the NextURI value when it gets to the end of the album. That would give me something to work with.

[BoringName]

I am trying to use it with Volumio on my RP 3+ device. What would be the best config for Volumio? Everything seems alright but when I try to pause the song, there is a quite long delay and Volumio Player stop the track completely and zero out the progress bar rather than just pause it.

PM me a copy of the log file or paste it here. Just remove any IP address information you don't want shared.

I initially thought it could be a firewall issue preventing the pause command going through but if that was the case the play commands wouldn't work either....

And while typing this my NAS just reported one of the disks has given up on life.... after yesterdays election results I was having a great weekend until this happened! I might be busy for a while.

Hello,

Track 12 starts for a few seconds then stops on the device but continues in MusicBee.

Sorry to hear that!

It rebuilt pretty quickly overnight and is doing data scrubbing now. The log showed the disc was pulled out and put back in again but it wasn't..... The drive showed no errors in testing. I just re-seated it and started a rebuild. I've ordered a replacement NAS and drives anyway just in case it's about to die. It's getting on a bit (I had to do the Synology resistor fix on it 5 years ago, Atom C2000 bug). I had planned on getting a new one later in the year, it just brought my plans forward a few months.

Volumio is returning an error code stating it doesn't support the Pause command. Does Volumio have a log you can provide?

I found this thread volumio-3-and-bubbleupnp which shows Volumio has a few UPnP issues but that's a few years old so you would hope it's been fixed by now.

At this stage I don't think it's something I can fix.

edit: Volumio might just have an issue with flac files. Tick force encoding and set the output format to PCM - 16 bit and see if you can pause the track. That will at least rule out one possible cause.

[BoringName]

Track 12 starts for a few seconds then stops on the device but continues in MusicBee.

This would indicate the Marantz doesn't like the plugin setting a blank NextURI when it gets to the end of the now playing list. I expect the user removing the NextURI track from the now playing list will also cause the same issue.

So this is how it's currently supposed to work.
Queue tracks A, B, and C.

The plugin sets the CurrentURI to track A and tells the device to play it. It then sets the NextURI to track B.
When the device finishes playing track A, it copies the NextURI value to the CurrentURI and starts playing it. So for a small period of time the NextURI and CurrentURI on the device are set to the same value - track B

The plugin detects when a transition has occurred and sets the NextURI to Track C.
When the device finishes playing track B, it copies the value across again as above so both values are now Track C.

The plugin detects this and due to there being no track D to queue, it sets the NextURI to a blank value.

As the NextURI is now blank, the device stops playing once it's finished playing track C. But I expect most devices would be aware they have transitioned to the NextURI and would stop playing if a new NextURI has not been set while the track was playing and just stop on their own. ie) they wouldn't get stuck in a loop just continuously playing track C.

So I probably don't need to clear the NextURI value for most devices (I need to run some tests to confirm this).

But any changes I make in this regard are going to effect Lyrion Music Server due to it maintaining it's own playlist. I don't really want to add anymore options but I might have to add a "don't clear NextURI" for Marantz users or something opposite for LMS users.

I'll see what I can come up with.

Happy to hear that there is no big mess.

Thank you for your reply. I played with settings both for the plugin and Volumio. I've changed DSD Playback mode to "DSD over PCM" from Volumio playback settings,  unfortunately it did not effect anything. It would be great if you can check out the Volumio logs!

That seems like a step backwards if it's not playing at all. I have no experience with volumio but I'm not sure DSD over PCM would be the correct option.

Can you go back to the original settings and provide the volumio log after you attempt to pause playback?

It is playing, nothing changed. Same issue. I reverted to original settings. Log file says the same;

I am using Volumio with my Scarlet I/O and Yamaha HS5 Active studio monitors to listen to my local songs and sometimes radio. I reckon it's Volumio issue too and -like any Volumio based issue- it is really frustrating/impossible for me to deal with. So I'll give a chance to Mopidy.

Thank you for your help!

Ok. This seems relevant - volume-control-via-mpc-not-working-with-softmixer

I think you need to change the value for the mixer_device in mpd.conf from SoftMaster to something like hw:0

I don't know what the values mean but it seems hw:0, hw:5 etc... are for different connection types like USB, HDMI etc.... You might get a better result asking on the volumio forums.

Hello BoringName,

I put back the factory firmware and the plug'in version 1.9.3 works for disc playlists in “force native stream” only with “Generic Device” without any other profile. Radio streams don't work in “Output as a continuous stream”.

Code

I'll wait for a new firmware and give some news.

[Stefs]

Worked perfectly with a Wiim Pro Plus.
Thanks!

[BoringName]

I put back the factory firmware and the plug'in version 1.9.3 works for disc playlists in “force native stream” only with “Generic Device” without any other profile. Radio streams don't work in “Output as a continuous stream”.

Radio streams should work now with continuous stream unchecked but only if the device supports the stream format. The plugin just forwards the radio stream URL to the device.

You might need to uncheck force native stream if you are trying to play a radio stream as continuous.

Hello everyone, thanks BoringName for the excellent work. I'm having issues with a Marantz MR1510.
I can see the unit in the "Output to" menu. Initially when I tried to play anything it would just not play (not even start in Musicbee), then I read previous users experiences here in the thread and I changed some settings, tried different user agents and I managed to make it mp3 tracks start, the Marantz clicks as if it's starting but there's no sound and after few seconds the track stops in the player.

I'm coming from iTunes so I have many .m4a files (Apple Lossless) that don't start even with the setting changes. I'm attaching a log where I tried to play an m4a file (no dice) and an mp3 that starts but outputs no sound and then stops.
Force native streaming is on. Other settings seem to have no effect (beside the IP setting).
I hope someone can guide me through this! Thank you

This error is a bit strange as m4a are supported by the plugin. But that can wait.

I think your main issue is possibly a firewall problem. There should be GetFile commands listed in the log when the Marantz device attempts to play the stream but there are none. So I think it must be getting blocked.
