Title: UPnp
Post by: Niche on 2018-04-17 22:32:23
Hello,

Please, may I request some help?

I have a NAS drive which I store all my music on.

To access my music and to catalogue my collection I use Music Collector (https://www.collectorz.com/music)
The Music collector links to the Music on my NAS and by clicking on a play button in the database you can choose to play an album or track.

Normally this would open the default media player and play the selection.

Now I would like to take this one step further and use Foobar as my default player and use it to stream UPnP to my music system which is Compatible.

I understand Foobar can do this but I am unable to set up Foobar to do this any advice or directions would be appreciated as I am not technical but can follow instructions.

Thank you in advance,

Mark

First, in foobar2000 "Preferences" find Media Library and add the folder(s) on your NAS where music is located.

Then install the DLNA component. The basic idea is here:

You'll have more questions after, so just post back here.
