I can’t see to find local storage on my Android phone as source. Files there are not showing in the Volumio Android app.
Volumio supports a lot of ways to play your music, but the app is just an alternative to the Web UI to control the device where you have the Volumio OS installed. If you have My Volumio Premium and the hardware to support it you can use the Bluetooth interface in Volumio to play the music from your phone, the other alternative is to use the BubbleUPnP or mConnect (free version available) apps and set Volumio as the UPnP/DLNA endpoint.
Ok , too bad, accessing local storage on phone difficult to implement? This way I dont need to start my computer.
I have UAPP and it can start a UPnP render, it can be access from my computer. But in BubbleUPnP or UAPP on Android, the Volumio endpoint/render does not show in the apps.
Wouldn’t you just make your music folder on the phone shareable on the network, then make make a “Source” on volumio, so effectively turning the music folder on the phone into a NAS?
Maybe this link will offer some help - How to Share Files Between Android and Ubuntu on Your Network
Check so that UPnP and DLNA is enabled in Volumio, Sources and then Functionalitys Control.
Or try the suggestion from andrewnorth to create a network drive on your phone - that should also work.
UPnP is enabled, but I can see the Volumio endpoint in BubbleUPnP Android now, I have a paid licence for this. I use the server on my computer. An excellent piece of software. Music is very transparent now. Metadata in BubbleUPnP shows FLAC is sendt direcly to Volumio without transcoding
But was is the difference of “Volumio” and “Volumio UPnP-AV” enpoints in BubbleUPnP?
I also have UAPP, excellent software as well, use it for headphone playback and USB Direct connection to DAC, wish it had better wireless playback support, can only cast to my Chromecast Audio with it, not to Volumio UPnP
How do I share a folder over Network on my local storage on my Android phone, so Volumio Android can see it?
