Looking for DLNA Renderer software (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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 use snapcast throughout my house and devices, but there's no snap_server_ for Android.

I've been meaning to try roc, for which there is an Android client that will both play and serve.

Sonobus also claims to be many:many; I haven't tried it either and it doesn't look particularly active.

I don't use UPnP or DLNA because of the security issues, so I can't offer a suggestion about that. I thought DLNA was a pull oriented protocol - like, to send music from your phone you'd have to select and play on your computer with a DLNA client. Can you push media with DLNA?

This isn't how it works.
