Is there any reason why you can't remove the BubbleUPnP Server from your NAS?

BTW, I run the current version of the BubbleUPnP Server on a Raspberry Pi2 (under Rasbian Jessie Lite) left switched on 24/7, with no issues whatsoever.

BubbleUPNP Server (apparently) works fine on the NAS until it crashes, so I'm not sure exactly what to make of that. What does Openhome provide that plain chromecast does not?

I had left it on because that meant when chromecast failed I could still play music using openhome. But clearly I need to test things a little more carefully. Last night I was able to play on chromecast from BubbleUPNP. I paused a track that was playing. This morning when I press "play" it blinks to acknowledge the touch and then nothing happens. So BubbleUPNP is no longer playing on chromecast. There are no error messages.

I stopped BubbleUPNP server in case it was causing some kind of problem. This didn't change the behavior. I restarted BubbleUPNP on the tablet and still got the same behavior. I also tried playing a new track and get a similarly unresponsive result.

As a test of the Chromecast function I installed the above mentioned Hi-Fi Cast and and it is working.
