MinimServer and endpoint on different subnet

Let's get a bit more background information.

As far as I'm aware the Melco is a UPnP Server and Renderer (maybe also a very basic control point), so what app (I assume on your phone/tablet) are you using to browse your MinimServer library and play it to the Melco?

What are you using Volumio for? Is it connected to a DAC/AMP/active speaker?

Are the Melco and Volumio the only speakers you want to play to?

My understanding is that you want to be able to play the music that's stored on 192.168.178.0 to speakers on both subnets, is that right?

Assuming all your speakers are UPnP, the app (phone/tablet) controlling playback will need to be on the same subnet as the speakers, is that OK?


The underlying problem is that UPnP relies on network broadcasts for discovery, which don't travel across subnets.
