Yea, I use it for local playback with my H5's when I'm out of the house, and at home I use it to stream from a NAS drive to both a Chromecast Audio and Sonos. I don't think it forces you to enable Apple Music if you don't want to play local files.

DLNA app for IOS with chromecast audio support

Thanks for the tip!
But, I've had no luck with it. It did find my servers, but did not succeed to scan the content.
It kept on writing 'syncing' for ever and had to start to again next time the app was opened.
Tried my good old 8Player app to see, if everything was ok with the servers - it was ok (as expected).
AND...surprice, I noticed that the 8Player now supports casting as well ;-)
My Chromecast devices (including the Homegroup with all together) were there as output devices.
And it works/works well as it should.
So I deleted the Glider app - why should I keep it?
Apart from the strange icons displaying the output devices, I'm pleased with this (unexpected) solution.

8player doesn't meet my expectation on modern UI, do prefer not to use it. let me try to play around with glider a bit more to see whether i can get it to work. it does seem to have an adequate design.
So, please report back.
Not offering an iPad version is a drawback for me, in any case.

Same issue that you experienced. after activating apple music, it did find my dlna server. however, it shows "syncing" forever and still "0 songs". it's a pity as it appears like a nicely designed app.
That stinks.
It works great for my setup with local Apple Music files plus two different media servers (MinimServer and Twonky). All of the music is presented as one big library which adapts when the media servers go offline. I've never seen this type of feature before, and it's really quite slick. Of course, it's only slick if it can actually load your music :)
It looks like they have a community forum that's somewhat active. Maybe post the issue there? https://community.glideraudio.com/
Did you pay in-app or did it also work before? i'll check out their forum.
I did pay in-app, but everything worked before that.
i'm in touch with the developer. he's fixing my issue. also has more plans with the app and an ipad app is also on the horizon.with the X app being so buggy, this may be a great alternative for all of us to stream dlna and apple music via airplay or chromecast to b&o devices.
Alright - I might be giving it a go another day, then.
