I already had the latest Java runtime installed for another app. Eezupnp was crashing with what appeared to be a Java error. I saw several posts yesterday where you've responded to these types of questions so it must be an area of interest/expertise.Īctually I tried both of them yesterday without luck. For example: an album's tracks being presented in track name (ie alphabetical order) instead of track number order, basic navigation functions like pause not working, flooding the network with "I am here" UPnP discovery multicast packets, etc! I'm only asking because some versions of Twonky have got the reputation of being a bit buggy - therefore not behaving very well with the controller app and other devices on the network. What UPnP/DLNA renderer(s) do you intend to control?īTW, assuming it's just for streaming audio files, what's your reason for using Twonky on your Linux box, instead of a perhaps more recommended audio file dedicated and well supported UPnP media server, like MinimServer or Asset UPnP? I normally use the more sophisticated OpenHome controller, Linn Kazoo, on Windows, but that's only possible because all of my standard UPnP/DLNA renderers also support OpenHome - either natively or with the help of the BubbleUPnP Server (via its Created an OpenHome renderer function). I gather the reason they cut ties with TuneIn was because the Beeb wanted TuneIn (and providers generally) to supply them with usage data, which TuneIn wasn't prepared to do. But is the BBC able to derive that usage data when people stream "from the core" so to speak i.e.If you don't mind something basic that just works and supports gapless playback, eezUPnP is worth a try: It begs the question though what fate awaits the HL streams available from the Beeb. It's nice to know that Linn are (through gritted teeth) "working on it". So, Linn needs to provide an alternative muy pronto. (Linn confirmed at the time that BBC streams would continue.) Well, fast forward to today and it seems that the BBC is planning to axe TuneIn entirely. Those of you who've followed the saga and fallout of the BBC and TuneIn know that the BBC ended support for TuneIn across all devices, but there was some reprieve for home streamers (such as Linn) that existing services would continue. TuneIn write (of the BBC), verbatim: " With their hope of moving all home devices to their own applications in the future, the UK streams available to home devices through TuneIn are set to be deprecated eventually. "
The last nail in the coffin was today when I received a mail from TuneIn disclosing that the BBC have plans to discontinue supporting what the Beeb ignorantly calls "legacy devices", meaning network streaming audio players. It's cathartic really, because there's nothing like saying "good riddance" to something that has plagued you for a while. I've had the same tortuous journey described by the OP, and like others, have had to circumvent TuneIn from my life altogether.
#ASSET UPNP REMOVE STREAMS TUNEIN FULL#
The cost is an initial £28 for a full MinimServer licence, plus an annual renewal fee of £10 for MinimStreamer - still substantially less than even a typical basic charge for a streaming subscription (I pay £10 per month for Spotify Connect), and more or less in line with MinimServer's main competitor, Asset UPnP.Ĭlick to expand.A resounding, yes! (No amount of Meg Ryan "Yess!"'s in the throes of ecstasy could emphasis how badly this is needed.)
#ASSET UPNP REMOVE STREAMS TUNEIN FREE#
You could (just about) make do for radio station use with the free "starter" edition of MinimServer version 2, but full radio functionality is only available with the MinimStreamer add-on, which only comes with the paid for version of MinimServer 2. Also, the full free version (0.8) of MinimServer is no longer available to download. But I have yet to find a station for which the URL is completely unavailable. Of course, to do this you need the radio station URL, and sometimes they take some hunting down. m3u playlist for a single radio station, pin it, and play it as if it had been accessed via TuneIn. As is by now well known, this makes it possible to play radio stations on a DS(M) without using Tunein. m3u playlists, including playlists of radio station identifiers and URLs.
MinimServer recognises and indexes standard. A recent change to the Davaar firmware now allows UPnP playlists to be pinned. Click to expand.Presumably you did this by setting up pins in Kazoo.
