DLNA CONTROLLER does not work anymore

[rjayyyy]

Interesting! haven't loaded the new firmware as I usually wait a while to see what the fall out looks like across the forums before upgrading.

Yeh I went through the process with Vera support, they are quite helpful but in the end after we tried everything but didn't get it working and then they basically ghosted with "it's a plugin" as the reasoning. Realistically though DLNA should be included so can only hope they bring something in as part of the actual Vera support OS at some point

Will keep following this topic anyhow.

Any way we can get the author of the current DLNA app to follow this article. as the issue with TTS is changes:

I uploaded the new firmware and selected the option to turn off uPNP security.  Sadly, no luck.  The plugin still does not work.

Sorin, I also tried the script you gave, but had no luck there either.  I didn't give an update earlier as I was waiting on this new release with the option to bypass the security.

Hi Marcus,
Can you tell me where that option you mentioned is located? I don't see it in settings anywhere.
Thanks

On the latest IOS app, it's in settings/security.

Thanks. I use Windows and control the Vera through my web browser, or Imperihome on my Android phone.

Any updates on this?

Nah. This is a total dead end. I've been investigating the use of an Amazon Echo dot (~$40 or less) coupled with the "House Band" skill and J River Media Center. Haven't done more than any initial research, but it looks promising.
I realize this is probably not even close to what you hope to accomplish, however, it could be a pretty solid alternative.
Good luck.

Yeh sounds like this is a dead end, I do rate the Vera community plugins but in all honesty some features need to be built into the base Vera software this is one of those things
