Notes

Warning

Network Requirement：DLNA requires the phone and the casting device to be on the same LAN.

1. Network Stability: Weak Wi-Fi signals can cause playback interruptions or delays
2. Device Discovery: Some DLNA devices need DLNA functionality manually enabled
3. Format Compatibility: Some DLNA devices may not support certain audio formats (e.g., FLAC, DSD)
4. Multicast Support: Router must support mDNS/Bonjour multicast protocol
5. Firewall: Some router firewalls may block DLNA discovery; allow UDP port 1900
6. Latency: 1-3 second control delay during casting is normal
7. Sleep Mode: Some DLNA devices cannot be woken from sleep mode
