UPNP – Linux Audio Foundation

# STEP18

# OPTIONAL: Using your USB DAC as a UPnP Renderer (Control Point)

# UPnP renderer: music player like BubbleUpnp or UpnpPlay send the stream from local source
# or remote source like Qobuz or Tidal to your audiophile server using MusicLounge renderer

# install upmpdcli

# UBUNTU INSTALLATION

```
$ sudo apt update
```

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jean-francois-dockes/upnpp1

# in case of error or the repository can’t be reached, install this pkg before

$ sudo apt install software-properties-common

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:jean-francois-dockes/upnpp1

# install

```
$ sudo apt install upmpdcli
```

# DEBIAN INSTALLATION
# add the repository for Debian list available here:
# IMPORTANT: change ‘buster’ by ‘bullseyes’ to match your debian version
https://www.lesbonscomptes.com/upmpdcli/pages/downloads.html

```
$ cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
```

$ sudo wget https://www.lesbonscomptes.com/upmpdcli/pages/upmpdcli-bullseye.list

# update pkgs

```
$ sudo apt update
```

# install repository key

```
$ cd ~/Downloads
```

$ gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ./lesbonscomptes.gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key F8E3347256922A8AE767605B7808CE96D38B9201

# or fetch the key form website

$ sudo wget https://www.lesbonscomptes.com/pages/lesbonscomptes.gpg

# copy lesbonscomptes.gpg to /usr/share/keyrings/

$ sudo cp lesbonscomptes.gpg /usr/share/keyrings/

$ sudo chmod 644 /usr/share/keyrings/lesbonscomptes.gpg

# update pkgs

```
$ sudo apt update
```

# install

```
$ sudo apt install upmpdcli
```

# RASPBERRY PI INSTALLATION
# add the repository for Debian bullseye list available here:
# IMPORTANT: change ‘buster’ by ‘bullseyes’ to match your debian version
https://www.lesbonscomptes.com/upmpdcli/pages/downloads.html

```
$ cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
```

$ sudo wget https://www.lesbonscomptes.com/upmpdcli/pages/upmpdcli-rbullseye.list

# update pkgs

```
$ sudo apt update
```

# install repository key

```
$ cd ~/Downloads
```

$ gpg --no-default-keyring --keyring ./lesbonscomptes.gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key F8E3347256922A8AE767605B7808CE96D38B9201

# copy lesbonscomptes.gpg to /usr/share/keyrings/

$ sudo cp lesbonscomptes.gpg /usr/share/keyrings/

# update pkgs

```
$ sudo apt update
```

# install

```
$ sudo apt install upmpdcli
```

# Edit configuration the server:

```
$ sudo nano /etc/upmpdcli.conf
```

# uncomment and modify friendlyname and checkcontentformat
# upnpAV is deactivated here (upnpav = 0)
# and should be 1 if you intend to play videos which is not the main purpose of an high end audiophile system
# OpenHome is also supported by default

friendlyname = MusicLounge
upnpav = 0
checkcontentformat = 0

# CTRL+O to save
# CTRL+X to exit

# Start UPNP Renderer

```
$ sudo systemctl enable upmpdcli
```
```
$ sudo systemctl start upmpdcli
```

# status of the service:

```
$ sudo systemctl status upmpdcli
```

# to stop the service (if needed) do the following:

```
$ sudo systemctl stop upmpdcli
```

# install qobuz and tidal plugins if needed

```
$ sudo apt install upmpdcli-qobuz
```

```
$ sudo apt install upmpdcli-tidal
```

# edit /etc/upmpdcli.conf to add your credential by editing the configuration (sudo nano /etc/upmpdcli.conf)

Congrats! You listen the music stored on your phone on your audiophile system using a UpNp Client like BubbleUpnp

# STEP17

# OPTIONAL: Install a DLNA server (browse and stream the music very easily with your Upnp music player client )

# MiniDLNA Project:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/minidlna/

# Install DLNA server type:

```
$ sudo apt install minidlna
```

# Edit configuration the server:

```
$ sudo nano /etc/minidlna.conf
```

media_dir=A,/mnt/media
friendly_name=MusicLounge

# CTRL+O to save
# CTRL+X to exit

```
$ sudo systemctl enable minidlna
```
```
$ sudo systemctl start minidlna
```

```
$ sudo systemctl status minidlna
```

# That’s it! you can now browse the music library with your Upnp music player like BubbleUpnp

# to check the status of the DLNA server open your net browser and type the ip address of the Raspberry followed by the dedicated port 8200:
# http://192.168.x.x:8200

TROUBLESHOOTING

# force update minidlna database

```
$ sudo systemctl stop minidlna.service
```

$ sudo systemd-run -t /usr/sbin/minidlnad -r -f /etc/minidlna.conf

$ sudo systemctl restart minidlna.service

# you can monitor DLNA database update
# “Finished parsing playlists” means it’s completed

$ sudo tail -f /var/log/minidlna/minidlna.log

# check the minidlna log

$ sudo cat /var/log/minidlna/minidlna.log

# in case of error:

WARNING: Inotify max_user_watches [16384] is low or close to the number of used watches [2] and I do not have permission to increase this limit.

# edit /etc/sysctl.conf to change the limit

```
$ sudo nano /etc/sysctl.conf
```

# add these lines

fs.inotify.max_user_instances=8192
fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288

#
# check the status of minidlna service

```
$ sudo systemctl status minidlna
```

# in case of error related to autofs

/lib/systemd/system/minidlna.service:4: Failed to add dependency on autofs, ignoring: Invalid argument

# edit service to apply this fix

$ sudo nano /lib/systemd/system/minidlna.service

# and replace autofs by autofs.service
# CTRL + X and Y to SAVE

```
$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
```
```
$ sudo systemctl restart minidlna
```
