Hi, This is not really issue but rather a question - is it any way to link a ocally stored jpg or png file with radio station thumb to the stream address? To display it later in UPnP client? What I am trying to get is look in BubbleUPnP as below (however it's coming from server named "Home Media Server" by Evgeniy Lachinov and it's buggy and clumsy software. That's why I am looking for something better and preferably Linux based

Could you please help me?

Hey thanks for dropping in a note.

Yeah I can look into this it would indeed be a nice add to have a station logo in the JSON file. I'll see what I can find within Rygel, not promising I can solve it.

Likely something around MediaEngines as far as I can tell so far https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/Rygel/MediaEngines

There's a snap that might work better for you in Ubuntu and likely some flatpaks could become available for other Linux desktops. Since the dependencies are bundled in with those formats that might improve stability. https://snapcraft.io/home-media-server

Hi, My poblem with Home Media Center is not stability itself but functionality, if I am honest. Library is SUPER complex and build not as I expect. And I can't get it customized to my flavor. Eg local audio library sorting is nightmare (by A,B,C... letters of artists so on so forth). Radio is slightly better but it shows all this sh***it below, I want to get rid (see screenshot). Perhaps it's my lack of knowledge of HMC but it's so complex that I have neither will nor time to go thru this :) :) So your help would be very highly appreciated
