as a recent fan of minimserver, tell me if my post is not correct.

I have tested servers and control points with my synology server, and found the combination minimserver plus lumin the best so far.

However, there is a function which I would dream of : whenever there is a pdf file along with audio files in directory (this is the case with qobuz, which often offers you this with downloading the music), to be able to read it on my computer / iphone / ipad / whatever app & device I use as a control point. Have a button in Lumin / Bubble / Kazoo etc.. to open and browse the pdf, as if I was reading the booklet of my CD :-)

Of course, it means that the server is able to send the file, even though it is not streaming (I never acces my synology files directly on my network, to avoid all extra files that Mac OSX on windowd add).

Is this something feasible ? Does it exist already ?

Thanks for the answer
Best

For a discussion of this, see this post and subsequent discussion on the same thread. This capability isn't part of the UPnP standard and you will need find some other way to view these booklets on your control point device.
