General - (fb2k) / Re: UPnP MediaRenderer output | discussion
Last post by SimBun -I face no issue when I stream by an App on my smartphone (Atoll's one or BubbleUPnP ) from my NAS or from Foobar2000 Audio server (or MinimServer).When using BubbleUPnP (or the Atoll app) to control playback, the controller sends the renderer (the Atoll) metadata about the resource it wants to play, which includes not only your tag metadata (album, artist e.t.c.) but also the URL of the track to play and any associated artwork. As the Atoll approaches the end of the current track it requests the next track from the controller and the cycle continues with new metadata being sent.
UPnP MediaRenderer doesn't send tracks, it sends foobar's output as a single audio stream (to the Atoll it's one very long track), so there's no way to provide updated metadata.
My issue is when I want to use Foobar2000 on my PC, to take advantage of its huge potential for sorting my around 10 000 albums, that not allows Smartphone's App.Whilst it's not as flexible as foobar MinimServer is very configurable. What is it you find lacking?
