Hello everyone, I am currently looking for a software solution to use my home server as a DLNA renderer which can output audio to my stereo amplifier.

The only solution I found was called gmrender-resurrect which seems like it would do exactly what I want but I was unable to get a docker container of it working. While I was able to find and connect to the DLNA Renderer, playback would fail every time and I was unable to get any information from the logs regarding why.

Do any of you know another solution to stream audio from my phone to my server (I am using Symfonium on the phone side)? Ideally it would be something I can deploy as a docker container on my server.

Thanks.

    I’m using macast as a media renderer, for video and audio. don’t know if there’s a docker container for it.

      I’ve used macast in the past on my desktop where it worked perfectly. Unfortunately I could not find a fitting docker image for it. There is this one but it has literally no information and only 70 image pulls. Then there is a dockerfile in the Macast github repo but considering I don’t see a docker image mentioned anywhere in the documentation so I guess that one is only for building the application. I believe Macast is a GUI application anyway so I’m not sure how good it would work on a headless server.

        it’s using mpv under the hood, so I guess it should be able to play audio headless. I’m using allcast to cast to it and control it.
