MinimServer and endpoint on different subnet

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.

Thanks a lot, let me describe my use case:
House #1: 192.168.178.0 (MinimServer on Melco streaming to Linn Exakt DSM and foobar2000 on my iPhone)
House #2: 192.168.200.0 (AUDIOPHONICS I-Sabre DAC ES9028Q2M with Volumio should also having access to my Melco/MinimServer library. This RPi is connected to my NAIM n-VI with some nice spreader.)

Your assumption is absolutely correct: I want to be able to play the music stored on 192.168.178.32 (MinimServer installed on my Melco) to speakers on both subnets.

The issue seems to by Volumio. Other that foobar2000 I can’t assign my Melco/MinimServer IP address. Automatic discovery isn’t working either. It just discovers upnp servers on the same subnet.

Seems that I need to switch to Moode or any other RPi distribution.
