I did pay in-app, but everything worked before that.

Just tried again - same result ;-(

I wonder what you do to get it working?

In my case, Glider didn't support my UPNP server. The developer is fixing this and had sent me a beta version to try it out. It is mostly working now, but he is helping to iron out some more things.

The bug fixes will be included in the Glider version after next (next one is already under review). So, you'll need to wait a bit until it will work out. Well worth the wait though as the app is everything that the X app should have been...

Well well, I have 3 different DLNA servers running 24/7 - will try another one and another one... to see what happens.

Also happy to point the developer in your direction if you are willing to beta-test and if has capacity to take on another trouble-shoot exercise. What UPNP servers are you using? And out of curiosity, why three different ones?

Oh, three is not many.

In my DLNA time (which goes way back) I've tried quite a few.

For you, it is the default DLNA server on my good old Synology NAS and the Logitech Media Server (or more precise, the DLNA part of it. And on my Mac Mini another version of same LMS.

All three are running for years now - and they are recognized and can be used from any other DLNA renderer/player app, I've tested in my setup including the Beomusic/X app.

Guess I'll have to dig out my old Win-laptop - there is a Minim server installed there, if I remember correctly - and probably the built-in Win7.

Never had any problem accessing the servers on the different BM5's, I've setup from my 8Player, PlugPlayer and other apps either.

The Glider app is somewhat out of order!

But if it works for someone else, it must work for me too - just how?

P.S. I am using the iOS app!

Thank you elephant.

The next version of the app will include a few fixes specific to B&O products, so you might not have the best experience at the moment. If that's the case, don't hesitate to email me and we can make sure the app is working for your setup.

Testing in progress 🙂 no problems in the first few minutes 😁

Joe (developer of Glider) has been of amazing help and things are working now.

The app (in beta) now even includes native support for B&O devices that support DLNA (Beosound 1&2, M5, A6&9, etc.). So, we can start playing to these devices gapless via DLNA. Big advantage compared to chromecast and airplay.
