I'm trying to setup minidlna and bubbleupnpserver on a cloud VPS, but the DLNA server is not showing up in the Media Servers tab. I have ruled out everything that I can think of, including my firewall.

From my server, I can access http://127.0.0.1:8200, although it fails with 400 Bad Request when using the public IP address, from both inside and outside my server, so I'm not 100% sure that my DLNA server is working correctly.

I see one warning in BubbleUPnPServer.log.0 that seems promising: could not get interface <publicIP> netmask, forcing to 255.255.0.0. I would love to be able to manually set this, just like you have for lanIp. Or if you have any idea on why this is failing.

My provider has me provisioned using DHCP with a 255.255.255.255 netmask. Maybe broadcast won't work at all for this?

Here are my interface details:

# ip -4 addr show eth0
2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000
    altname enp0s6
    altname ens6
    inet <publicIP>/32 scope global dynamic noprefixroute eth0
       valid_lft 462sec preferred_lft 462sec

# ip -4 maddr show eth0
2: eth0
inet  224.0.0.251
inet  239.255.255.250 users 2
inet  224.0.0.1

# ifconfig eth0
eth0: flags=4163<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
        inet <publicIP>  netmask 255.255.255.255  broadcast 0.0.0.0

Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

Hi,

Can you send the BubbleUPnP Server changelog file (BubbleUPnPServer.log.0) to bubblesof...@gmail.com ?
