Doesn't always show up in the play to device list Sonos Playbar doesn't see any media server except for XBMC. The ability to playback a certain file lies within the hardware of the device and is impossible to change yourself. JRiver doesn't always show up as an available server and is not the most stable.Īll the above network players work in my network but all have their limitations. What I would like to see working is a stable media network around the house with a multitude of attached network devices, a central media server and 1 controller app for all of it.Īll the above media servers work in my network and provide the content to any player or controller and this seems to be the most easy part of the Media Automation.

I would like to avoid any discussion about playback from a storage device through the internal media application on a particular device. I like to start a thread where we can discuss our findings with centralized media and playback to multiple devices around the house.
