jaz Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 What is the best iOS app to use as a controller for upnp/dlna? Tried 8player and Sesam and they are quite poor. Any ideas? Link to comment
ducatirider Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I have no complaints using Jriver/Jremote Link to comment
jaz Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 I have no complaints using Jriver/Jremote Looks like that requires a computer in the mix to run jriver. I have dlna running on my nas and really don't want to use additional software on a computer. Any other alternatives? Link to comment

d_elm Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 On iOS I thought the Lumin app was the best. I now use BubbleUPnP on an Android tablet. Sent from my iPad using Computer Audiophile Link to comment
Cebolla Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The Lumin app is an OpenHome (aka UPnP with Linn extensions) controller, so won't normally work with standard UPnP/DLNA streamers. However, if you also run the BubbleUPnP Server helper software (on a networked computer & can also be installed on some NASs - requires the Java Runtime), you can get OpenHome renderer emulation for your standard UPnP/DLNA renderer and therefore allow you to use an OpenHome controller with it: BubbleUPnP Server - Creating OpenHome renderers One of the benefits of using an OpenHome controller is that you can get native access to the TIDAL & Qobuz online music streaming services. Another OpenHome controller to consider for iOS is the Linn Kazoo app. BTW, my recommendation for a standard UPnP/DLNA iOS controller is the Creation C5 app. We are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us. -- Jo Cox Link to comment

By far the best controller I found so far. Missing a few features but it's pretty sweet. Link to comment
GUTB Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 BTW on the topic of NAS while I owned a Synology I really enjoyed its controller app that worked perfectly in iOS and Android. The library interface was slick. Sent from my LG-H820 using Computer Audiophile mobile app Link to comment
Cebolla Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Not really on the topic of the thread though, as the Synology controller app is 'just' a remote control for its own library & player, so not a UPnP/DLNA controller aka control point. We are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us. -- Jo Cox Link to comment
