Admin: Sorry if this is the wrong forum. This is just more of a curiosity.
I have a bunch of .mp3/.flac music library. Is it possible open a random port like 6161, then have UMS transcode and stream music over that port into a cellphone app?

I'm not fully understand what you want to do. UMS uses an standard DLNA protocol for streaming media files, client/server model. Port can be configured, but still the same model (you need a rendering app on your phone, ie Bubble UPNP https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... upnp&hl=en)JediFonger wrote:Admin: Sorry if this is the wrong forum.

-- UMS serving PS3, WDTV, Samsung H6400 + J5500 and Kalemsoft renderers! (no video transcoding but remuxing accepted

Re: Is it possible to transcode AND stream directly from cellphone music app back to home IP over a port?
more of a architectural question maybe.
i already run UMS at home on a box and can stream stuff fine over DLNA over LAN fine no problem.
my question is this: can i forward DLNA ports from my internet router/gateway and then when i am not at home, stream the same media files from outside the home (using public IP vs. private IP of course).
i know there is a security, but just trying to address the point of the question.
if not that way method, is there an alternate more secure username/pw-based method to stream media from UMS beyond the LAN?
the *reason* for this question is all my music is flac and i dont want to keep another mp3 as a set.
so ideally i would like UMS to transcode flac as tiny mp3 or whatever music files compresses best to stream over 3G/4G mobile data to save on data $. i dont want to stream flac over 3G/4G mobile data plan for obvious reasons. and to do this from outside the home.

the more i think about it the more i'm certain that UMS doesn't do what i think the other stuff does. they have no app-eco-system like plex/tonido which i have also been playing with.. therefore... without that, it just leaves users the ability to get the files... but no way to transcode it before it gets sent out.
i'd pay serious $ for an app for UMS
