upmpdcli mpd and LMS -- set up help!

[patricia1066]

Found an article that describes how malware can exploit upnp to access the network. Definitely not worth risking.

Yeah, upnp basically allows any application to open up your firewall rules from the inside (without your explicit consent).

You can still get everything setup by setting up the firewall rules manually. Technically there shouldn't be any firewall rules needed between LMS and the Marantz though... It should just work?

The upnp plug-in that identifies Marantz as a Player relies on UPNP enabled on the router. Only squeezeboxes and appliances with “squeezelite” are managed by LMS on its own protocol. 
If the Marantz had USB output, I would plug the Snakeoil pc into it and then it would recognise the Marantz dac. 

Talking about squeezebox hardware, wiim pro and pro plus have been updated with squeezelite so they are LMS players without the plugin and UPNP being enabled.

Edit - I installed the UPNP/DLNA Media Interface plugin and HEOS can access LMS content. I can access the library from the Marantz streamer, even with upnp disabled on the network. I checked UPNP bridge plugin and although the Marantz is seen as a player, LMS cannot control music playback with UPNP disabled on the modem/router.

HEOS is a buggy app that frequently fails to read tags, so is inferior to LMS in my opinion.
