Can't find gmediarender upnp renderer running on Raspberry Pi

[phbcanada]

I'm running gmediarender on a RaspberryPi model 4B.
I can cast music to it from Android (BubbleUPnP app) and from my iPad (mconnectLite app).

I'd like to be able to play music from my MacbookPro (Mojave 10.14.6) VLC media player 3.0.11.1 Vetinari (revision 3.0.11.1-0-g52483f3ca2) but no renderers are found:

Tried running with -vv and log file. Hopefully relevant portions of the log:

Code: Select all

Any suggestions on how to get this to work?

I've also dumped the relevant SDDP data from gmediarender in case this is helpful:

Hi, VLC unfortunately does not support rendering to UPnP devices yet, only Chromecasts.

Ahh... OK. The "Renderer" menu should probably be labelled "Chromecast" to avoid confusing poor people like me.
