I recently bought an Ocean Digital Internet radio - WR210N - in anticipation of (finally) being able to travel again (one day!). It's a nice piece of kit - reasonable sound - good battery life and eminently portable, I use it a lot around the house.
I wondered if I could connect it to my music collection, currently hosted on a PI3B+ running PCP + LMS, so I installed Andy Grundman's UPnP/DNLA plugin, tried to connect to my LMS server and got nothing, nada, ziltch !
I bit of trawling through the net with Google finally gave me this post, which beautifully explains the problem and outlines the solution.
So I decided to see if I could implement the suggested fix and check whether it works.
Good News, it does. :D I can now connect to my music collection.
Basically what I have done is to unpack slimserver.tcz from the SD card, modify Discovery.pm, and pack it all back again. Works like a charm, the only caveat is the you have to do it every time there is a new LMS version.
Perhaps someone a little more savvy than I could look at parameterising the plugin to achieve the same result.
However, this is what I did using a Deepin 20.2 virtual machine :-
This bodge should work with any UPnP player that relies on port 1900 for M-Search to look for a suitable server.
I hope it will be of use to someone.
