![]() ![]() Bubble Server will take a DLNA stream and cast it to CCA. I would suggest you install the BubbleUPnP Server on your tablet or NAS (if you can find a build of Bubble Server for your Synology). If you want to stream music from MusicBee to CCA, you will need something to act as an intermediary between MB and CCA see the sticky thread. Now, if you wish to use MusicBee as a means to access and control playback of music, that you can carry around your house, without needing to use your PC, you will need a Windows tablet, as MB only runs on Windows. If you are using the BubbleUPnP app on Android, that can cast directly to CCA, without needing Plex to do it. In this case, MusicBee has no part to play in your use everything is done by Plex and Android and Chromecast. When using your Android device, you are accessing the Plex server (either using Plex' own protocol, or DLNA), and using its Chromecast ability to send music to your Chromecast Audio (CCA) devices. It's not clear which method you are using when running MusicBee on your PC. in this case, Plex provides the library index, and MB accesses this index, and you can select music to play. I see that you have found the sticky thread on how to use the UPnP plug-in to cast to Chromecast:Īs a secondary function, MB can also access a Digital Media Server (DMS), such as is provided by Plex running on your NAS. Using the UPnP/DLNA plug-in, it can also send music to a DLNA Digital Media Renderer (DMR). It is primarily intended to access a storage device (either a hard drive or a NAS), and create its own library index, and play music by fetching music from the storage device, and sending it to an audio device on the PC (either internal to the PC, or via some interface such as USB or SPDIF). MusicBee is a standalone media player, that runs on Windows. You are having trouble because you are mixing a number of media streaming systems, and trying to get them to work together. Just want to get this right and start looking forward to pure enjoyment Very sensitive topic as music means so so much to me. Putting chromecast aside, is there any solution out there that would match my desire here? To be able to pick up a tablet and use musicbee as my player that will stream content direct from NAS to my receiver? I see there is a subsonic plugin, and subsonic supports chromecast.but I'm still getting the impression that on the tablet I would have to use Dsub or some kind of subsonic related app rather than musicbee itself? ![]() ![]() I know there is the UPnP trick to be able to stream to my chromecast - but would that be a direct NAS to chromecast stream? Or would it be first going through my tablet and then to the chromecast? And would I actually be using MB on the tablet or would I have to use the UPnP interface? Managing my music is one thing - but the issue I'm coming with today is the ability to use it as my player. I'm well confused about renderer, controller, library etc. The dream would be to have MB on a tablet and be able to stream directly from NAS to chromecast - but I see this isn't so easy (if not impossible because I don't understand how the various software interact). The problem I'm having is that plex just doesn't have the look and feel i'm going for. Thing is I never sit at my PC, so the interface (controller) I'll be using in the living room is my phone or rather, a future tablet purchase. So I recently set up a synology NAS - put plex on that and my android phone and I also got a chromecast audio that I can stream easily to. You'll quickly see that I know little of what I'm talking about but I promise I'm trying to understand, every day! Kind of ready to rip my hair out with confusion though ![]()
