Hi All -
I'm just the millionth old person to come here and ask for help getting music from a hard drive to the old receiver. I apologize and thank you in advance
I've been on a long quest to achieve the ideal digital setup (being forced to leave my precious CDs behind) and have struggled throughout. I thought things were finally ok until my setup decided to just stop working and exhibiting new faulty behaviour.
Here is a true history of where I am at and my limited level of understanding!
Long story short -
I would really like to use Jriver to stream the FLACs I have on my NAS. I would like to control it from my windows tablet and play to the old receiver in the living room. I currently have a network share and use DLNA to stream to my Chromecast audio (optical out to the receiver). I use BubbleUPnP because chromecast does not support DLNA on it's own. Everything was working fine until it simply stopped working. Perhaps there was a power outage and I didn't try using it again until that point? I don't know for sure.
So, a suggestion for a fix would be awesome. As mentioned there is a bit deeper history to my current setup in that link above.
Alternatively I'm surely open to a new device that could allow me to retain the bolded desires above. Is there something to replace the Chromecast with that would make my life easier? What I currently have going is simply not reliable and at the moment nearly unplayable. It's either a poor setup choice or I am doing something wrong with settings and firewall/virus/ports etc.
Thanks again for reading this it hurts my heart going through it!
