I have had a Squeezebox Duet for a few years now.  I mainly use it to
play music stored on my PC, and occasionally listen to Podcasts and
Internet radio.  I have two Android devices I use to play music, in
addition to the Duet, but I never use while house audio. 

I got a GBox Q Android set top box for Christmas, set up Serviio server
on my PC and BubbleUpnp on the GBox so I could stream movies. I scanned
the movies and pictures into serviio, but did not scan the music since I
never play music on the TV.

Yesterday i was playing around with the GBox and noticed "Logitech Media
Server" showed up on the server list on BubbleUpnp.  I clicked on it and
found that all my music was actaloged the same as in my Squeexebox, and
I could click on artists, albums and tracks and play anything on my TV.


Anyone know why this happened?  I am thinking that LMS is acting as a
DLNA server. Is that true, I thought Upnp was and addon, and I have a
stock LMS setup.

I was also thinking of the future, one day my Duet will die, and I
cannot buy a replacement.  It seems to me that for my use, BubbleUpnp
and a Chromecast Audio dongle would give me the same functionality as I
currently have, since I can cast from BubbleUpnp on my phone to the
Chromecast.  Would that be a good solution?  Am I missing something?

Any comment wecome.
