lumin app loses connection to minim or linn ds

[lyapounov]

The Lumin app had always issues finding some of my renderers. Now, I have a weird network: a main router, and a secondary router connected via wifi to the main router, which is used as a relay, and also to deliver Internet by RJ45 (I always try to avoid CPL). I have a Linn connected to this secondary routeur, a Google Hub and a Google chromecast which are linked by wifi to the main router; I am using of course minimserver plus bubbleUpnp to create an openHome renderer for the chromecast & GoogleHub on a synology attached to the secondary router. And only one DHCP server, on the main router, so everything on the same network.

You can't imagine how difficult it was to get the chromecast and google hub working properly with Lumin app. I had to connect to the secondary router wifi, get out of Lumin app, disconnect wifi, get back to wifi, relaunch Lumin, and sometimes I had to do this twice or thrice before getting to see the chromecast and google hub. And even so, after some times, the connection to the chromecast and google hub was lost, I had to redo the whole stuff of disconnecting etc.

Of course, I always thought it was my weird network architecture responsible for this. As an example, miniwatch does not work (is grey) when I am connected to the main router wifi, but does when I am connected to the secondary router wifi, the one which has the synology linked to it via RJ45.

Now, owing to this thread (and I thank you, "guys", as they say in California ;-) I have downloaded the TEAC HR Streamer app, which, except for a few details, is an exact replica of the Lumin app, whose look & feel I do like.

Good news is that with the TEAC app, all issues have disappeared, all my renderers are recognized, and all is stable, while with Lumin app, even with the latest version, I still have the same instability and issues with my chromecast and google hub (I am comparing the 2 apps side by side at the same time). This is a relief for me, you can't imagine. So again, thank you all !! But what does it say about how the Lumin app processes the Upnp layer versus the TEAC app ?

(And, a little post scriptum, same as I like to eat in a Michelin star because I also like to eat a good saucisson with ordinary vin rouge on the summit of a mountain, I have no problem switching from my top Linn to more ordinary system; it all depends upon the context. But I can tell you that, for $35, the google chromecast is one of the best quality over price ratio renderer I ever had ! Only issue: not gapless...)
