Audirvana don´t connect to Allo USB bridge

Audirvāna Remote App
1

When I try to connect to Allo USB bridge, Audirvana don not see the unit. Do I have to load a new program for Allo?

Allo is prepared for Roon and I have tested Roon no problem to use Allo. I did not chose Roon because the sound was not good enough.

Which sw is running on your Allo? You should have mpd/Upmpdcli running to let it work with Audirvana

Volumio, Moode, ropieee XL and GentooPlayer can run mpd/upmpdcli, depends on configuration.

I am running dietpi. mpd is active. How do I install Upmdcli?

I managed to do this last night. I struggled to find a guide, but found one in the end. I can’t take credit for this.

More stable and IMO sounds better that mrenderer that I’ve been using on my dietpi usbridge for years!

I was reading somewhere that gentooplayer sounded great. So I did a trial and found it used upmpdcli. So I though why not get this working on dietpi. Here you go. Best of luck.

You’ll have to install mpd first.
Sudo apt-get install mpd

  1. From an SSH session enter:

Code:

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/upmpdcli.list

… then press return and enter the text as below into the file that’s just opened, save it (Control + X) and exit

Code:

deb http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/upmpdcli/downloads/raspbian/ buster main

deb-src http://www.lesbonscomptes.com/upmpdcli/downloads/raspbian/ buster main

  1. Now import the repository key. The first stage of the method I use for this process comprises:

Code:

sudo apt install dirmngr

Next, fetching the relevant repository key from the keyservers:

Code:

gpg --keyserver pool.sks-keyservers.net --recv-key F8E3347256922A8AE767605B7808CE96D38B9201

Then, adding that key to the ‘apt’ keyring:

Code:

gpg --export ‘7808CE96D38B9201’ | sudo apt-key add -

  1. Having done this run:

Code:

sudo apt-get update

then:

Code:

sudo apt-get install upmpdcli

  1. Now, update Upmpdcli’s streaming services:

Code:

sudo apt-get install upmpdcli-qobuz

sudo apt-get install upmpdcli-gmusic

sudo apt-get install upmpdcli-tidal

  1. Finally, restart upmpdcli

Code:

sudo service upmpdcli restart

  1. Exit the SSH session

There is also the option of RoPiee XXL (do not etablere the OpenHome support), which should work with Audirvana (I’m using it with BubbleUpnpServer/MinimServer).

Does this include mpd if I follow this?

As well does this set it up to replace GMrender as default upnp connection to audirvana?

Possible connection issue solution: try deactivating “Rescan network folders at each start”, maybe restart your remote and Audirvana and let us know. I had the connection problems just like several users of this forum and with this trick it finally works, another user in this forum discovered it.

Hey Globi - what were you running as a UPnP endpoint when your method above seemed to fix the issue ?

Thanks

Dear airdronian, I evidently posted the answer in another thread where problems other than mine are discussed. However, I only had the famous remote connection problem with Audirvana on Windows 10 and I solved it by deactivating the rescan at each start. And as for everything that has to do with UPnP / DLNA and BubbleUPnP I am absolutely not able to configure them because I lack computer knowledge, I should have precise instructions that can be performed even by those who do not have the knowledge of networks, I know some computer scientists but perhaps not even they are able to configure them.
