(iOS] Loss of connectivity to fb2k UPnP Server

Hello,

Adding this here since it seems like it may be related:

I use foobar2000 Mobile 1.6.4 (ios) when I am outdoors during the Summer months to connect to my Autoplaylists via on an indoor PC running the UPnP Server for fb2k v1.6.18 32-bit.  It's been several months since I've used it this way so i didn't notice anything different until yesterday.

The Browse screen on the iPhone always listed "foobar2000 Media Server" on this screen, allowing me to select it and then use the playlists and browse fb2k library with ease.  It's now gone.  I restarted both the PC and the phone, no changes. 

I found this thread (https://hydrogenaud.io/index.php/topic,126664.0.html) about UPnP changes, set up an smb connection, which works, but no Autoplaylists.  :-(

I don't believe that it has anything to do with the network, PC or fb v1.6.18.  I remembered that I had fb2k Mobile on an Android TV box, which I tested.  It still connects/plays just fine. 

As well as that, there is also a Roku Ultra box connected to this television that has the Roku Media Player app installed which also connects the fb2k UPnP Server as always.  BTW, it always surprised me how easily and quickly the Roku app connected to the fb2k UPnP server, including its playlists and it was just as fast as the fb mobile app on the phone.

Almost all other remote apps that I've tested give it a half-hearted try, usually requiring extensive re-indexing every time there is a library change.

Anyway; is there anything I might be missing or is there a possibility of this functionality being restored?

Thank you!
