Hello Arie, No folders or files appear in the "file"edit box, I get the error “[invalid\_results]”’. Any idea what I do wrong? The NAS (on FritzBox) is reachable without problems by e.g. BubbleUnp on my phone. ![afbeelding](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/b/d/bd90700a1828dd43118fbe6f0013ee566819cf5a.png) ---

Hey, I was wondering if I could use this app to connect to my local Plex Media Server (works also as DNLA server) and play the tunes via my Vifa Copenhagen’s DNLA client (it has a local IP)? ---

Well, this app/card only retrieves urls from DNLA. So, to play it, im not sure what is supported. Depends on the Vifa app? This app cannot itself command a DNLA client. Not sure if that is even possible with DNLA? A client connects with a server and retrieves “the libraries etc”, but can a server also control a client directly through DNLA protocols? If so, a second device, a dnla client, could be created in this app. ---

Is it possible to send the URL from the media server to the IP of the speaker (Vifa) to be played? ---

I dont know. Is your speaker connected to Homey through an app or something? I don’t know vifa or how you send something to it’s IP. ---

no connection, no app … I thought it would work if I’m able to send something to its IP, or some kind of endpoint. It has a DNLA client… ---

@Arie_J_Godschalk can’t find any UPNP devices not even 4 sonos and like 10 other upnp devices + a QNAP NAS with upnp server enabled ---

Thats weird! Perhaps your router is blocking it? ---

I saw your app and thought it would be nice to make it work. However, only the top flow works when I play 1 song. As soon as I do the bottom flow to play a folder with music it goes wrong. Is there something I’m doing wrong? I use a synolgy nas media server ![5](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/4/34cc8f07f4abc08aff81b26de6dd7e1e19f778e5.png) ![4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/7/c7486332a4b2e7a526ac04f579e2ebbc6fda491d.png) ---

I just update the UMP app, resolving some minor bugs (well, Synology UPnP stopped working). If any issues remain, please let me know. ---
