[Solved] Strange 'Access error' problem
Hi,
Recently I experienced strange problem and writing this with hope somebody will be able to help.
I have installed Serviio in the following configuration:
Ubuntu 12.4
Serviio 1.2.1
Streaming to Yamaha RX-V473 (obviously only audio)
Asus wireless router is used for wireless connection.
For searching thru content stored on the server I use Android apps (tested BubbleUPnP and UPnPlay), ServiiDroid is also installed. Now, everything is fine as long as I use Samsung Galaxy SII phone for connection, browsing thru sever content and streaming it to Yamaha renderer. But, recently I bought some Nexus Android device and ... I can see everything what is stored on the server, I can go thru its content but when I try to play it I see 'Access error' on renderer's screen. I tested four Android devices and only one is able to make Serviio render files on my Yamaha - obviously Samsung Galaxy SII. Strangely enough, I can play locally on all my Android devices but I am unable to render it on Yamaha (except when using Samsung SII). On top of it, official Yamaha app makes the trick. With that one I can render my music on Yamaha no matter which device I use to control Serviio.
I still have some tests to run: trying different media server and installing Serviio on Windows machine, but this will just tell me that this Ubuntu configuration have some problems. The main problem, however, will still be there.
Does anybody have any ideas or already went thru something like this?
[Edit] It turned out that Serviio was adding every new connecting device with Generic DLNA profile. With that profile sever was unable to play anything on my Yamaha. I thought that if I have Yamaha profile set up properly it should be enough to play everything on this device. Obviously I was wrong. For every device, on which I am running Android controlling app, I must set up Yamaha profile. I only wonder why it was not necessary for Samsung Galaxy SII.
