Hello,

I have purchased a full license on the Amazon Appstore (in addition to the license purchased on GooglePlay) in order to run BubbleUPnP on my Windows laptop a couple months ago. I am running a UPnP/DLNA server on my LAN and use two Roon endpoints to stream music using the BubleUPnP client as a great interface/control center (see the screenshot below, taken on Chrome OS).

It all worked well as soon as I enabled Local Network Access in the Windows Subsystem for Android settings... Until recently... My guess is that they've updated the Windows Subsystem for Android during the last 4-6 weeks, and now this setting (LAN access) was moved from System to Advanced - Experimental Features - Local Network Access in the Windows Subsystem for Android. See the screenshot below.

Anyway, I've enabled it, restarted the system, and did everything else, including a full reboot, etc. The BubbleUPnP clients starts fine and can play music from Qobuz or cloud (OneDrive), BUT it does not see either UPnP/DLNA servers on my LAN or Roon endpoints. The lists are empty (see the Windows screenshot below). I've already jumped through all hoops... Just move the feature, call it "experimental", and suddenly everything is FUBAR...

Is there a way to enable/restore LAN device visibility in the BubbleUPnP? Or it's a Windows Subsystem for Android bug, and I need to wait patiently until they fix it?

Thanks a lot in advance for your help,
Leo

Hi,

Yes, as you noticed the new "Local Network Access "  setting replacing "Advanced Networking" and broke multicast SSDP device discovery.

I opened a bug report (1) on the WSA bug tracker an Microsoft is aware of it (2):
