It needs to be able to use the TV as a display, have a good music player program, output digital, and be able to play songs from a USB hard drive connected to the unit. It seems like the set top boxes I've looked at are all geared for streaming.
JRIVER MEDIA CENTER AND SONOS TRIAL
I ended up downloading the trial of JRiver Media Center and setting up the House. I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a set top box or component that can accomplish the above task? Yesterday I was determined to find a way to control Sonos with Amazon Echo. I live in a rural area that Centurylink has abandoned any ideas of offering anything above 512K DSL.
JRIVER MEDIA CENTER AND SONOS FULL SIZE
It's a full size PC tower that I use as a music server/source.Ģ) All my CD's are store on an internal hard drive in WAV format.ģ) I use Windows Media Center to queue up musicĤ) The PC is connected to my Anthem MX300 HT Receiver via HDMI cable.ĥ) PC outputs digital audio through HDMI, and the MX300 does the DA conversion.Ħ) The MX300 is connected to my 54" plasma as the display.ħ) I have a wireless keyboard and a logitech air mouse for screen navigation. You may also like to ask Sonos why their Controllers can't see the MC Server.I have an eyesore in my living room. So that isn't an answer, but might give you a path to check out. I believe the BubbleUPnP Server can be set up to operate transparently to the user, in this configuration. JRiver MC Server > BubbleUPnP Server > Sonos Controller(s) > notation. Try it out, if you haven't already.Īs a fellow geek, you might be able to find the information I couldn't find.Īnyway, you might find the BubbleUPnP Server can be used to enable visibility of a MC Server to Sonos Controllers. There is the "DLNAExtra" setting in MC's Advanced DLNA settings, but I don't think that does what you need. MC uses a standard DLNA server, while I believe the other Apps you have successfully tried have added extensions to allow Sonos to see their servers. I actually think it uses some of the UPnP standard. It finds device via IP Address discovery or something. Unfortunately, I can't find a reference to it, and Sonos support online barely talks about its UPnP and DLNA support. I believe it actually uses a variant networking protocol, called something like "Open Home Network" or similar. In fact, Sonos is not DLNA compliant, so it can't see a standard DLNA server.
JRIVER MEDIA CENTER AND SONOS CODE
I'm a geek for a living so of course I'm looking at everything available and I can code and fill in minor gaps but I don't want to spend all of my time coding for a media center when I do that for Home Automation systems alreadyĪlso need a newer Theater view theme Suggestions? But I want a single solution for local audio/dvd/BD playback to replace Plex and I'm hoping JRiver can fill that segment.
JRIVER MEDIA CENTER AND SONOS HOW TO
I have Roku boxes, Roku TV's and FireTV boxes which can be used for the streaming just train them to use the Harmony remote or how to switch source inputs. My family use Netflix, Hulu, Amazon for the majority of general TV watching but I want/need good local ability to play audio and Movies and having family videos and pictures is added bonus. I'm not happy with their direction and the internet dependency that have created. In the end this is a Plex issue so I'm looking to replace Plex. Problem is I'm double NAT'ed with LTE modems so Plex internet sharing doesn't work well and I hate the internet dependency anyways. Really this comes down to a stupid issue with Plex and Sonos integration where the Sonos Controller has to use Internet access to get Plex server info and then Sonos Controller can play the Plex library to local speakers. It's just really odd that the DLNA is not showing up in the Sonos Controller for access to the media. I can from MC send to/play to individual speakers just fine. Then the Sonos Controller can push the URI to the speaker for playback. The DLNA doesn't need to broadcast to the speaker directly but the Sonos Controller needs to hear the broadcast and load the DLNA information. Sonos Controller is running on the same PC and Windows Firewall, Defender, and all other nonsense is all disabled. Yes Media Network (was running during testing).
