Using External Player locally

Issue description:

I cannot find out how to use an external player (USB audio player pro) without casting via upnp which does not work over 5g. Is there a way to set symfonium to use an external player on the same phone such as vlc etc.

Additional information:

 
Attempting to cast to Usb audio player pro or other upnp renderers results in nothing shown in the cast options, works immediately when switching to wifi connection
 

Reproduction steps:

 
Cannot see renderers from other apps on same device while on 5g, is possible in other apps but no renderers show up in the cast option beside ‘local device’

Do you stop and restart uapp when you stop the wifi ?

I’ve tried it by leaving it on as well as only starting/restarting it when switching to 5g, seems to have same result

And it works with other apps ?

Please provide bubbleupnp logs for that case.

For the record it works without Wifi here and I worked with uapp author to ensure proper support between both apps for casting.

Uploaded logs under name: Bubble UPNP Logs for 5G Renderers

Bubble upnp seems to be able to cast to UAPP just fine over 5g

The bubble logs are empty, you did not select the renderer nor cast anything.

Apologies for that, have uploaded the current logs under the name: Bubble UPNP Logs v2 . Exported logs after connecting/playing from bubble upnp to uapp over 5g with no issues.

Edit: bubble UPNP works when casting to other apps beside uapp such as neutron over 5g, symfonium seems to be the only one

Ok so seems UAPP no more answers on loopback and your 5G interfaces are not marked as multicast.

I’ll try to add a workaround in next release, hoping it fixes.
