    https://www.reddit.com/r/jellyfin/comments/itt0c2/need\_help\_to\_setup\_remote\_play\_directly\_on\_my/ hints at a similar option. To run another app, which acts as a DLNA client/renderer, on the ARM device then use Jellyfins "Play on" feature. Something like https://github.com/hzeller/gmrender-resurrect maybe.
  • [HELP] Is there any possible way to transmit all the audio from my phone to linux

    If not, buy (or use other methods to obtain it, I've heard that a Release by Kirlif' exists ;) or use the trial from the app AirMusicl. Enable DLNA in the settings. Now install GMediaRender, run it from the command line, and go back to your phone. Open AirMusicl, go to the Recievers tab, select gmediarender, and press the flash on the bottom and it streams! And side note, you can configure AirMusicl to use screen casting which works without root or complete audio capturing with works with root in the settings :)

    Allo-DigiOne running DietPi/GMRender on RPi3B as DLNA renderer, QNAP HS-210 SilentNAS with Minimserver2 as DLNA server, and controlled primarily by BubbleUPnP on an Android tablet. These also drive an outdoor 2.1 system from a Yamaha WXC-50 renderer in the basement.

    Both are UPnP servers which serve music to compatible renderers. I run them with gmrender-resurrect on Raspberry Pis connected to my stereos and can control playback from my phone.
  • Any decent DLNA renderers for Linux?

    gmrender-resurrect doesn't seem to send playback status or seeked time updates to Jellyfin, although play/pause & seek instructions work, once paused Jellyfin still thinks playback is continuing. (probably the easiest of all to fix)
