MinimServer and endpoint on different subnet

Unfortunately UPnP discovery is designed to work on a single subnet (to prevent broadcast flooding), so it's working as intended.

Some routers do support repeating broadcasts across subnets, but they're few and far between, especially for UPnP broadcasts. The BubbleUPnP solution I described previously works in a similar way, but requires a device on both subnets e.g. NAS/Pi e.t.c. Foobar works because you're not relying on discovery.

If Moode acts as a UPnP control point and allows you to manually configure the server it may work, but I have no experience with it.

The only other option I can think of is to use Volumio to index your collection from the other subnet, and that's assuming the Melco uses SMB/NFS to make it available across the network. This will present a totally different/inferior browsing experience to MinimServer though.
