Picked up a Poly this week. Works great with Roon at home, but I bought it for travel too. Trying to find a good quality DLNA app for controlling the Poly (I have my entire CD collection on an SD card.)
Any recommendations for both Android and iOS?
Not too sure how the poly works ,I got the impression it was a renderer come streamer where does the DNLA server bit come from
I use JRiver media server for DLNA with JRemote as the app but that is JRiver specific
I have also used Creation 5 , originally designed for B &O ,and VLC
VLC is active development so may be worth a look itâs free to and on Android and iOS
If you want an Android server , JRiver have just released JRiver for Android which is a cut down MC reading the local files, itâs still in dev but seems quite stable

I just use the SD card and simple controls in Gofigure. I put them in groups on the SD card eg rock, punk, greatest hits then usually just press random.

Chord is using 8player for iOS and BubbleUPnP for Android.
I also looked on some other DLNA apps too (note: I use only android devices) and in the end gave up on this route. A simple remote control is needed but all apps seem to be players first and foremost and some even servers so one ends up paying too much and/or has to accept advertisements in the app for functionality thatâs not used/needed (for my use case and in my opinion). So I ended up with an install of M.A.L.P., but I actually never used it as it turned out that for my mobile usage while traveling the bluetooth connection was good enough (so far) and actually even removed the SD-Card from the Poly.

Iâm using Mconnect right now. So far seems the best of the bunch. Also available on Android and iOSâcurrently have an Android phone but will probably go back to Apple this year.
@garye Are you referring to Quickplay Controls? All I see is a âNo Playlists Foundâ message.
Didnât like these apps. I want something simple so will try Soundirok and M.A.L.P.
Thanks all!
Yes quick play controls. You have to create your SD card in some way that gofigure recognises. I use dapper on a Mac mini but there are other programmes.

You can search quick play here and it has all sorts of great advice, useless advice, opinions that are good, bad and indifferent. A bit like here really!

MConnect is the best for DLNA. Rigelian for MPD.
Old thread I know.

Finally!
Thanks for the heads up on the update @Audioholic 
@Martin_Webster ARC works just fine but only via Airplay of course.
JPLAY is an excellent app by the way.

Since JPLAY can stream to the Poly using Wi-Fi with this update, I was hoping ARC could, too.
Iâm away from home, so Iâll have to wait until next week to update my Poly.

People actually pay to use JPLAY? Itâs bloody awful and overpriced. ÂŁ50 a year for a UPnP controller youâre having a laugh when Mconnect can do it as well for very little. You only get advanced metadata on streaming albums not you own, itâs doesnât auto update libriaries you have to manually trigger it, they donât have a global search, they make silly claims on improved sq that are so unsubstantiated. Funnily I cancelled after 24 hours yet not been charge yet the app still works!

I still prefer Glider even though it hasnât been updated for a few years, but I agree that Mconnect is just fine for an UPnP player.
Sign up to the trial, cancel the subscription before they take the money. @rbo hasnât been charged and it still works for him. Same for you then 
Iâll take a look at Glider and Mconnect.
