Being a simple fellow I expected the UPnP definitions (not you of course) to say precisely what was required, but it seems not.
When setting it all up (on linux) my recollection is that 8080 seemed to be needed for sq2u, but I don't have 1900 open on the server. The ufw linux firewall is very simple, but brutal - it assumes almost nothing (as far as I know) and blocks almost everything. Windows may well attempt to be a lot cleverer, leaving some ports open (and there is much on the web about the risk of UPnP ports being left open on the WAN side). LMS 7.9 on VortexBox Midi, Xubuntu 14.04, FLACs 16->24 bit, 44.1->192kbps. LMS & Squeeze2upnp (Beta - derived from squeezelite) to Musical Fidelity M1 CLiC and Marantz CR603 UPnP renderers. Squeezelite to PC sound. Minimserver (server) and upplay (control point) to same amps & to upmpdcli/mpd PC renderers. Meridian USB Explorer DAC from PCs to speakers/headphones. Wireless Xubuntu 14.04 laptop controls LMS/upplay via Firefox. Have a Touch with EDO, and a spare, but don't use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102496 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
