Unpn Media Renderer

[tibo]

Hi everyone,

 

I would like to know if any of you heard about transforming a Synology server into an Upnp media renderer ?

I know how to make synology a upnp server but is not my question.

 

Why would I do this ? Imagine you have some sound on your laptop (example : youtube videos) you would like to stream to your HiFi unit, my goal would be to use my Synology(+usb DAC) as a Upnp renderer.

 

Thanks,

Thibaut

It sounds like an interesting idea, have a search for media renderer on raspberry pi, there might be ways to setup the packages on XPE/DSM, or maybe just use a  pi?
