Pioneer N30AE/N50AE/N70AE w/o DLNA support
Posted: Thu Oct 05, 2017 6:16 am
The new line of network players from Pioneer doesn't (officially) support DLNA any longer. The "DLNA certified" logo has gone from the website, from the data sheet, from the user guide, from everywhere. Not even the word "DLNA" is mentioned a single time. Since the AE-series shouldn't be that much different from the former A-series, it will probably still work, but you don't get support for it.
Could this be a sign of the indutry for a growing disinterest in DLNA?
Like I wrote here, the new Yamaha NP-S303 is completely useless for people using DLNA servers. Another sign that confirms this trend.
I sent the Yamaha back and got the Pioneer N-70A. That's the best piece of hardware I had so far in terms of compatibility with Serviio. Together with the N-50, which I also own, it's the only device where the pause/resume function is working, and it's the only device where the cover art is displayed (doesn't show on N-50).
