[Sven 136]

My parents have a Bose SoundTouch. ( http://www.digitaltrends.com/home-theater/bose-unveils-soundtouch-wireless-music-system/ )

 

The system is recognized in MediaBrowser to work with DLNA. But i can't play anything..

I don't see that much information. Onlt the following. And thats information i see a lot..

 

Any other information i can generate to help resolving the issue

@@Luke :What information do you need to get this working?

[Luke 42077]

maybe i'll spot something in a new (up to date log). otherwise a bose donation, or you'll just have to do some trial and error. @@Ghostm or @@Happy2Play can help

I really have no idea.  To me it looks like they are not talking to each other properly, but the server is getting information from the device though.

 

Don't think it will make a difference since there are not profile requests in your log but you can try this profile.

 

I would say it goes here (C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\MediaBrowser-Server\config\dlna\user), but your setup appears to be different (C:\Projects\MediaBrowser\ProgramData-Server) don't know exact correlation.

[Sven 136]

Do you need other information?

Should i select some profile, some other options?

[Happy2Play 9780]

Just a guess, but to me it would have to do with all the line exceptions thrown.

If I would have to guess both device can't talk to each other.  I would suspect custom profile also but the log never reference anything about profiles.

 

 "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 192.168.1.52:8091"

 

and

And can i do something to fix it?

Hi there,

 

I found very little info about the SoundToch systems on the forum and like to add my experience.

 

Yesterday I installed a Bose SoundTouch 10 at home. Today I added the xml from Happy2Play and though the xml did not match the device profile I was able to stream music to the SoundTouch 10. (I have to disappoint you if you think the Bose APP on your phone will see your DLNA Emby server. No, it will not see your server.)

 

To play music from your Emby server, you need to browse and select your music through the Emby web interface. (internet browser) To play audio over the SoundTouch select it in the right upper corner of the Emby web interface and hit play. It is that simple.

 

 

Adding a profile xml is not required but if you want to transcode some special audio files or like to tweak you can use it.

To use the xml from Happy2Play first look in the log files how the SoundTouch presents itself. This is what I got.

 

2018-11-25 13:16:44.217 Info Dlna: No matching device profile found. The default will need to be used.
    DeviceDescription:
    FriendlyName:SoundTouch10
    Manufacturer:Bose Corporation
    ManufacturerUrl:http://www.bose.com
    ModelDescription:Bose SoundTouch Wireless Streaming Audio Device
    ModelName:SoundTouch 10
    ModelNumber:
    ModelUrl:http://www.bose.com
    SerialNumber:xxxxxx

2018-11-25 13:16:44.230 Info Dlna: DLNA Session created for SoundTouch10 - SoundTouch 10

 

After correcting the xml with the correct data the warning in the log disappeared.

 

So remember you Bose app on the phone/tablet is useless for Emby but you will be able to play audio from the emby web interface.

[fire@emby 2]

The Bose Soundtouch 10 accept the following audio formats for direct play: mp3, aac, flac, ogg, wma and wav

This is what I was able to test.

 

It would be really, really cool if the dlna server from Emby could be made compatible with the Bose app. If required I can provide info.

[Luke 42077]

The default dlna profile will direct play just about every format. Is that not sufficient?

[fire@emby 2]

Well, Emby server is also an dlna server right?

Somehow the Bose SoundTouch app (dlna client) is not able to see my Emby DLNA server.

For example the foobar2000 dlna server does work with the app

[Luke 42077]

We'll look into that, thanks.

There are any news about this issue ? Bose Soundtouch still can't find Emby DLNA server. 

Thank you.

Thank you.

Hi there, what version of Emby Server? 

[eduard.georgescu 0]

Luke, it is latest version: 4.5.2.0.

[Luke 42077]

Ok, please try again with the next release. Thanks.

[eduard.georgescu 0]

Thank you Luke. Wait for it.

[eduard.georgescu 0]

Luke, I update it to 4.5.3.0 and still not working. Soundtouch application still can't find NAS Emby.

[Luke 42077]

Ok sorry, we'll probably have to test with the sound touch ourselves in order to see what's going on.

[fire@emby 2]

I can confirm emby 4.5.3.0 DLNA server does not show in the Bose app as a DLNA source.

As a alternative I installed a miniDLNA server back in 2018. It does work in the app. Most audio codecs do not require transcoding therefore it works out-of-the-box. I still use it today.

Personally I use emby only for video playback on the TV.

[Luke 42077]

Ok thanks for reporting. We'll try to chase it down.

[eduard.georgescu 0]

I tried miniDLNA and I can confirm that is working with Soundtouch app.
