UPnP

I'll try again. I know this is probably a Windows question but:
I have a UPnP server working on my Windows machine and Foobar2000 via Intranet. My Marantz and LG TV on the same local network  sees the feed. Great!
I have not found a way to get either Win 11media player  or VLC media player to capture the feed .
Any ideas?
VLC wants a Http address.  I know the  server ip is the the Win machines ip but is there an HTTP address?

Foobar seems to play directly and is out of sync with the server. I'd like all my feeds in sync.

Not tested but prefixing the ip address with http:// should work.

Code: [Select]

You also should supplement the fb2k server's IP address with the port number.
Go to Preferences > Tools > UPnP > Server > Basic settings and check the network port number in the Media Sever section.
In my case it would be
Code: [Select]

I run a media server on my NAS, and also on my PC (Win 10).
Any instance of VLC on my LAN can 'see' either of the servers and play content - no IP address is needed (it's UPnP), just like your TV does not.
It looks like this:

If you want to use FB2K for windows to play from a UPnP server on your LAN, you need the plugin - it works fine but only for the 32-bit version of FB2k. It would be nice if some clever person could make a 64bit plugin to replace that old code! Only the discovery and renderer is needed, as there are many UPnP _servers_ that run on PCs already....
