Describe the feature/enhancement

Great project so far, I really really like it!

It would be great to have support for UPNP Streaming for end devices like digital radios. So that one can select the audio book on these devices. Another possibility would be to stream them from the web interface (or the app) via UPNP to these end points.

I think Sonos (#352) and Home Assistant (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/dlna_dms/) and many others could play content housed in ABS if this was implemented

Additionally a wide variety of smarthome, media and multiroom audio devices (lametric, sonos, heos, AVRs, …) could be used in conjunction with ABS if DLNA was implemented.

For Example Jellyfin mediaseerver does implement such a “stream to” function, but ABS is far superior in handling of audiobooks and podcasts.

Another vote for this. Chromecast support is great but I started rolling out some rpi's with Moode Audio on them and it would be great to send audio to the DLNA or UPNP renderer on Moode.

Unfortunately, I don't have time to try to implement DLNA myself. But I offer 200€ to anybody who successfully implements DLNA-playback (like in Jellyfin) for ABS.

Hi thanks for finding my repository at the moment i wouldn't feel comfortable to merge it into the main repository as it is still hold together by ducttape. But i hope to improve it in the next coming months.

But please feel free to check it out and see if it work's with your devices!!!

@fidoriel I think he must have abandoned the project. The last update was around 9 months ago.

I got it to work with the newest Audiobookshelf version, i think the best way to help would be to test it and find out where/when it breaks and ideally fix it.

I did some testing using moodeaudio as renderer

  • when the server reboots, the device is not properly disconnected getTransportInfo does throw an 500/404 and getPosition does not find the route to host.
  • there is something with not properly setting/loading progress. Restarting the renderer and then it jumps some time back to last chapter, when resuming it seems fine again, seems to be a ui thing only.
  • A failing server should be propagated to frontend and not spammed until it is disconnected.

But basic remote rendering works great.
Maybe there should be a feature flag like the chromecast one with a beta tag when merging.
