1. Bel Canto renderer in standard (that is, not OpenHome) format and all five Sonos boxes immediately appear as available renderers.
2. Minimserver appears in library at the 2 minute mark.
3. My CAPS Zuma server with JRiver appears as a renderer in both generic and legacy uPnP formats at the 5 minute mark.
4. My Marantz pre-pro AV7702 appears as a renderer at the 10 minute mark.
5. Finally, the Bel Canto renderer in OH format appears as a renderer at the 15 minute mark.

I'm not sure of the differences between the OH and non-OH forms of the Bel Canto renderer. The only differences I found is that DSF files are not codec recognized by the non-OH format, but that was fixable as well by unticking a uPnP Tweak setting in BubbleuPnP.

Thoughts, Simon? JCR

Can you try running Linn Kinsky on a PC or Mac that is ethernet wired to the switch or router to see if you get the same discovery timings?

Can you try ethernet wiring one of the slow-responding renderers directly to the router (bypassing the switch) to see if that helps?

Are you by any chance using powerline adapters to extend your ethernet wiring?

OK, the first thing I tried was to plug the NAS and the Bel Canto renderer directly into the router, rather than through the switch. I rebooted the tablet and started up BubbleuPnP. Bingo! The renderer in OH format, and Minimserver in the library, appeared instantly. So, for reasons that I don't understand, the switch was blocking something.

Related to this, and the subject of a separate thread, is my ability to get Minimwatch to work. I can report that, unfortunately, the attachment of the NAS and renderer directly to the router has not solved the grey-out issue on Minimwatch, notwithstanding the correction of the Java SE incoming connections. But, you'll address that further over in that separate thread.

Thank you, Simon. Your support is fast and knowledgeable. I just made a donation to you to support your continued work. Cheers. JCR
