UPnP: manually add server

So, I should be able to add my Marantz NR1509 Audio Receiver? How? The IP Address is easy to find. Port number? XML file [configuration file?]? etc.

I'm not clear: do you want to cast to the marantz device OR does it have a media library that you want to access via UPnP?

Casting is done via the cast button that appears at the top right of the Playing screen.

Media Servers can be browsed via the 'Media Servers' node on the home screen.

Does that clarify?

I just wanted to play music on the receiver [from the phone]. The only way I know how to do that is via the HEOS built-in the receiver and HEOS app on the phone. Obviously, the interface in the HEOS app is primitive compared with MM. Maybe Bluetooth?

You appear to be correct, we had number of users also confirm that some Marantz do not have chromecast and DLNA Renderer capabilities embed, but only thru their HEOS proprietary app. Can you confirm that case on your device?

eg. like explained here https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewt ... 25#p504225

Yes, HEOS only.

Hi,
That is sad. Marantz was great company once

So best (if not only) solution would be to Have MM5 started and use HEOS on phone as Controller to play from Media Servers.

I do this sometimes. What I mean is using HEOS to reference the server created via MM5. No way to use MMA?

No way to use MMA?

Unfortunately no, it require MMA to integrate whole HEOS API.

Added as https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=19667 , but do not get your hopes up too much it is more reasonable to be included in MM5 directly due teh fact MMA is not DLNA Server that Denon/Marantz require to play local network streams.
