I really want to find a PC based (Windows 7) upnp server and player which will work with Nevo S70s. I have tried several, some of which will interwork to some degree but none work 100%. The two key areas of difficulty are album art, sometimes shown and sometimes not, then, most critically, only one track will play then play stops.

I need the server and player to handle FLAC music files and the player needs to have options or plugins for ASIO or WASAPI.

Has anyone found a solution which works?



Nick.

Have you looked at twonky?

Could you show us a list of what you have tried?

Hi Syd, thanks for the response. I have tried many combinations, some of which are summarised below:

Server: Tversity, Player: Foobar, Art OK, FLAC OK, single track only
Server: Tversity, Player: WMP12, Art No, FLAC No
Server: Tversity, Player: XBMC, Art OK, FLAC No
Server: Twonky, Player: Foobar, Art varies, FLAC OK, single track only
Server: Twonky, Player: WMP12, Art MP3 only, FLAC no, single track only
Server: Twonky, Player: XBMC, Art varies, FLAC no
Server: Foobar, Player: Foobar, Art OK, FLAC OK, single track only
Server: XBMC, Player: XBMC, FLAC no
Server: Serviio, Player: Foobar, Art varies FLAC no
Server: J River MC, Player: Denon AVC, Art OK, FLAC OK transcoded to LPCM, single track only
Server: J River MC, Player: J River MC, Art OK, FLAC OK, single track only


The table shows that none of the combinations support play of multiple tracks.  It must be a problem with the Nevo unless I am doing something wrong.  I am running out of options.  Have you got anything working reliably?

Nick.

I have been using Nevo products for a long time now and it has been a while since I've used the UPnP features with it, but I will give a shot at why I think only one track plays.

Is the Nevo controller asleep when the next track tries to get played? If so, I believe the player is not getting the "next track" que from the Nevo since it's a sleep. Most other UPnP solutions have devices that are on all the time, so that might not be an issue with those, but the Nevo obviously is asleep most of its life. I don't remember all of the server/player combos I've tried in the past, but I do know that some of them (like when I used a D-Link Media Lounge DSM-320) required the Nevo to be on all the time in order for the "next track" que to be received.

If the Nevo is on and it still doesn't get the next track, then this is an even bigger issue and I don't know what to say. One last thing to try is to try to execute actual playlists instead of just executing a single song. Even when selecting a song from an album, sometimes the server/player might just interpret that as "he just wants that one song to play even though it belongs to a bigger list/album" and that might be the reason for the next song not to play. If you try selecting an actual saved playlist, this might work better.

Anyhow, I hope some of that helps. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply, Ry-dog.

The Nevo is set to never turn off when on external power and that is how I have been testing it so I don't think going to sleep is the problem.

I did wonder the same as you about selecting a single track so I have tried playlists and, on some products, there is a link to play an album, rather than a track. The result has always been the same, just one track plays.

Incidentally, most of my testing has been done with the emulator so sleep isn't relevant there.

Have you ever had this work with PC software based server and player?

Nick.

Nick - so in your last message, are you saying you have not tried it outside of the emulator? If so, it might be a whole different game.

Hi,

I too am looking for a suitable web based Music Player Daemon (MPD) that works with the S70 that can play music via my Bryston BDP-1.

Can anyone recommend such a player, as I am yet to find one....

Thank you in advance.

Squeezebox beta 7.6 now includes UPNP support, everything's great except, only one song at a time...
This problem has nothing to do with WIFI, sleep, dock, undock...

I haven't gotten wireshark out to see what the S70's sending Squeeze Center when selecting a title, but I'd be willing to put money on it sending a play vs an insert or append to playlist.

This seems to be a common issue with the S70, so I'm thinking that their UPNP client is at fault.
