I setup a multiroom music playing environment. For this I use Raspberry Pis for renderer in a room. Here I found a [https://joachim-wilke.de/blog/2016/07/10/UPNP-Renderer-auf-dem-Raspberry-Pi/ somewhat outdated howto] but it points me in the right direction. Here is howto install it.

We use [https://github.com/hzeller/gmrender-resurrect gmrender-resurrect] which is available in the repository. Install it on a RasPi with needed plugins.

'''pi@raspberrypi:~ $''' sudo apt install gmediarender gstreamer1.0-plugins-base gstreamer1.0-plugins-good gstreamer1.0-plugins-ugly gstreamer1.0-alsa
'''pi@raspberrypi:~ $'''

Test installation with
'''pi@raspberrypi:~ $''' /usr/bin/gmediarender -f Test -u 42 --logfile /dev/stdout

Configure in /etc/default/gmediasrender. Don't use "special" characters like umlaut. Startup will quit with an error message. Seems gmediarender still not understand UTF-8 :-(

Start gmediarender as service:
'''pi@raspberrypi:~ $''' sudo systemctl enable gmediarender.service
'''pi@raspberrypi:~ $''' sudo systemctl start gmediarender.service
'''pi@raspberrypi:~ $'''
