version 4.x : "The SSDP listener could not bind to the port 1900/UDP" about pulseaudio-dlna

[Takkat-Nebuk]

You may be running another DLNA server using this port (e.g. miniDLNA). This port is used for client discovery in pulseaudio-dlna 4.x and it can't be accessed if another server used it.

You may have to stop the other DLNA server before using pulseaudio-dlna.

Takkat is right.

I am planning to make a small adjustment in the next version, where a used port or perhaps a flag just disables the auto discover feature, so that pulseudio-dlna and other DMS can live in co-existance and harmony.

Thank you for your answers. The options "multicast/RTP receiver" and "multicast/RTP sender" and some others linked to network were enabled in pulseaudio.

After disabling it, I was able to use the last version perfectly. I conjecture that it is linked to the port you mentioned. Thanks again for your work.
