I have S5 Active,what is basically S5 in different case,but i use BubblePnP and MxPlayer,seems working ok,devices are recognized as Bubble devices with (SM-G870A) or (SM-P905) for my tablet.I can provide logs,if it helps.For my knowledge Bubble is only reasonable DLNA android client,with MxPlayer for playback,never tryed to play something without those (how you even do that?)

I'm seeing the same behavior with my wife's Samsung Android phone (can't recall the model offhand).

Oddities:
That's my wife's phone and she doesn't try to access anything on the local network with it, she doesn't even know how to.
So, for some reason, either via some odd broadcast from her phone over the local network or other reason, the UMS software detected her Android phone on the network and misidentified it.

So, is there documentation on how detection occurs in UMS? One thing, it'd be nice to properly identify devices and for another, I'd love to know why my wife's phone is broadcasting to the network (I'll probably set up a sniffer and see what's going on, once I have an idea of what to look for).

That's normal, as UMS pick an available renderer depending on the strings detected on the network.
And we only register strings that we know or that we discover when users posted their log.

If we don't have a full Trace log, we don't try to guess what could be your, so if you want help, just follow the forum rules, write in red at the beginning of this thread.
