CMT-X7CD(B) player not detected

[buitre-buitaker]

Hi!

I have problems detecting my Sony player CMT-X7CD(B).

It works with the songpal Sony app (random errors from time to time, not flawlesly but well enough).

If I execute the songpal discovery command I get info from other upnp devices but not from Sony player.

If I use upnp_info.py from https://github.com/lynxbee/upnp_info I get the following output for my player:

How can I control the player using songpal script?

Thank you

Hi, so it really depends on what you are trying to accomplish (what type of controls you are looking for), but this device does not seem to support the same protocol that is implemented by this library. If you are looking to control media playback, you could probably use any upnp-supporting library as all those listed interfaces besides that X_Tandem one are just standard playback controls.
