Comment on Looking for DLNA Renderer software
Scrath@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks agoI’m not very well informed on the specifics of the DLNA standard or how it is differentiated from UPnP so take what I say here with a grain of salt. My understanding is that there are 3 device types in DLNA
- A server which provides media
- A client which can pull media from the server
- A renderer which can play back media from the client
I’m not sure if the server is necessary stricly speaking or if my device is using the underlying UPnP stuff but I can use Macast, which is a DLNA renderer, on my desktop computer and then select it as a playback device in Symfonium on my android phone where it shows up as a UPnP device.
