How to Stream Local Music Library Remotely?

OK, next questions:

 

- It appears BubbleUPnP and mConnect as app can provide as high a resolution as the iPhone can handle (24/48). Is this correct?

???

 

Why is the iPhone's own hi-res audio handling limit a factor?

 

I can't see that being an issue if the remote network is a standard UPnP audio network streaming setup, so with the iPhone running the mConnect Player app just to control a UPnP renderer (eg your microRendu) on the same network and online access to your home UPnP media server via an ISP. So the streamed audio files will not be handled by the iPhone at all.

 

- Is your intention to use the mConnect Player app's built-in player for playback on the iPhone itself, rather than use it as a UPnP controller for a UPnP renderer on the remote network?

- And/or is it that you intend using the phone's network operator for internet access rather than via its WiFi connection?

Ah, it all makes sense now.

 

In which case, unfortunately, I believe you cannot use the BubbleUPnP Server method with an iOS device remotely on its own, given that you need to use the BubbleUPnP Tether Client (a Java command line application) on some device on the remote network - unless you can find some way of getting Java runtime support on iOS!

 

Only the BubbleUPnP Android app and the foobar2000 Windows audio file player with the foo_upnp plugin can natively remotely connect to the BubbleUPnP Server; otherwise the remote UPnP control point application needs to go via the BubbleUPnP Tether Client on the same remote network.

 

How about using an Android phone instead?
