DLNA cast to Yamaha RX-A2040 fails

[gino86 0]

Hi all

I have recently built a new NAS to replace my already quite aged Synology DS414. My new build runs TrueNAS Scale and Emby from the official TrueNAS charts catalog.

A feature that I'd not want to miss out from the old NAS is the casting of music to my Yamaha RX-A2040 (runs on latest firmmare available 1.98) which currently works fine with DS Audio from Synology. The Yamaha only supports audio streaming, and no video/photo.

I have now the problem that I cannot cast from the Emby server to the Yamaha directly, but I can browse the Emby library from the Yamaha on-screen UI or via the Yamaha app and stream music in those ways.

When I try to cast e.g. an album to the Yamaha from Emby, the following things happen:

• The Yamaha UI shows song title etc. but no sound is audible
• Immediately after, the Yamaha UI shows an 'Access error' on the screen
• After ~10s Emby switches to the next song in the queue and the same happens again

BTW, in the same network on the same router, I have an Xbox One X connected and streaming music to it works from the Emby app.

I have attached some logs.

Any idea what could be the cause of my issue or anybody managed to DLNA-cast to a Yamaha RX-Ax040 yet?

Thanks
Gino

Maybe it could be related to this and Emby is somehow sending in the wrong format? My library is all MP3 and Emby should not transcode (if it does...)

Hi again

When I read the following post and look at my log files, I can find the same 'Access token invalid or expired' errors where folks state that it worked for them on Emby 4.6 and stopped working from 4.7 owards. I cannot confirm that, because I started directly with 4.7.10 and then updated to 4.7.11.

Another log attached below.

Best
Gino

Unfortunately I too found that emby's dlna server is completely buggy. Same problem with my Yamaha RX-V777 that just can't access emby via dlna control point app like HiFi-Cast (same access-error response). Unfortunately, as you may have noticed, I didn't get support to fix the problem; I had to resolve by eliminating the emby dlna plugin and use another dlna server software (kodi in my case), waiting to completely replace emby with another software when my emby premiere subscription ended.

@Lukeany chance in having a look at this issue? I am seemingly not the only one with this problem.
