That's interesting. I have tried using Generic DLNA, Legacy UPnP and Original Format settings within JRiver. The various instances show up but nothing populates. Tried on both the DMP-A6 screen and the Android app.

 

Perhaps an issue with my network? I have no issues with a WiiM Pro.

Darren, can your WIIM pro (no issues) can see and access your JRMC library ?

 

You may want to test the Audiophile 24-bit DAC DLNA profile, that works for me between both of my JRIVER devices and is accessible from
- 2020 smart TV,
- my 2023 tablet with A12 and
- my WIIM Pro
- my phone with A14.
via VLC, WIIM, Bubble UPNP or UAPP throughout the network.
However, depending on the size of the library complete parsing may take a while.
Before this action isn't finish I may see as well only empty folders.
Please excuse my ITALIC  German

So, this device is based on Android 11 not 14 which is the current version of the OS. Android 11 is not supported any more nor is it getting security patches. This is like having a red flag and waving it in the middle of a field and hoping there is no bull around to charge at you. This is why I will not buy any Android or iOS-based music appliance. The OS goes out of date too fast.

 

How is the company dealing with this issue? 

You know, my friend, if you want to be sure where your unlimited data plan flows to, like, foreverly, just stick with Apple and Microsoft :-)

Google doesnt't fit in that short list ... and I see his software driven network connected devices as a single point of "programmed" obsolence. For most of us it might be easier to upgrade a 149$ WIIM Pro than a 10x more expensive Eversolo DMP-A6 every 3 or 5 years. But even that idea is kind of pita, imho.
However, the core DAC functionality may work as well without network/internet access with HDD access - if the software won't be maintained anymore. It's like buying a Gustard DAC and not using it's streaming functionality.;-)

Yes, WiiM will access my JRiver library without any issues.

 

I enabled Generic DLNA, Legacy UPnP, Original Format and Audiophile 24-bit DAC profiles in JRiver. The WiiM sees all of them as well as my NUC on the network. The Eversolo app only sees the Original Format profile.

 

SMB shares on the Eversolo app work. It can also see the Plex server and Enby server under Streaming\Emby Beta and Plex Beta however Plex and Enby don't show up under Streaming\UPnP. I don't know why Emby, Jellyfin and Plex need their own group and aren't just discoverable under the UPnP category? 

 

I would use SMB, Plex or Enby but they don't support the use of playlists or smart playlists.

 

Anyway, thanks for your input. 

That's kind of strange, isn't it?
Would you like to try BubbleUPNP as an app on the Eversolo or your mobile phone as control point?
Just an idea for isolatig your problem. I would assume from your information that JRIVER isn't the problem.
If the problem doesnt hurt or bug you enough, and a FW reset of the device might not come in handy ... living with it seems more appropriate , sorry to say so ....

Thanks. I checked that my windows network type is set to Private. I even disabled the firewall. Restarted the windows server and minimserver. Restarted  the DMP-A6 and did a factory reset. Tried going WiFI instead of wired. Still no luck. Streaming > UPNP still shows No Data on the DMP-A6 front panel.

Again, I do not have any problem connecting minimserver to DMP-A6 with BubbleUPnP.

Thanks for your help.

So your problem is located with the uPnP control point functionality as part of the Eversolo software suite? Natively or through  Android? Is that correct?

 

My favourite specialist with knowledge in regard to UPNP in this forum is @Cebolla, to whom I like to send my best wishes for a perfect start into 2014. Perhaps he has an idea how to approach towards an solution?
