UPNP client/ renderer is not working

1st Official Post

    I was hoping that the Pi/LE kodi box i installed would show up as an uPnP dlna renderer / client on my home network, but neither my win 10, not bubbleupnp sees the box as an upnp renderer. everything else work fine.

    i would like to cast videos / music from my laptop vlc / media player to the Pi/ LE box

    how could i diagnose why it is not seen?

    thanks in advance.

    Videos and music are only sent out via UPnP from Kodi if they are first scraped into Kodi's video and music libraries. If you want a pure UPnP file server, then there are more dedicated applications such as MiniDLNA.

    I have same problem with 9.2.0 on raspi1.

    After last upgrade, from 9.0, I lost upnp capabilities in Settings-Services. I have just samba, SSH,avahi,Cron, bluetooth options.

    I can't use kodi as renderer from Bubble upnp, I can't browse dlna servers from kodi and I have 2 servers running Twonky on different NAS.

    I have a old mount of a dlna music folder in Music section, but now it's not reachable.

    Any suggestions?
