Marantz NR1509 Audio Receiver with HEOS [that supports DLNA], MM5 Build 2255, running on Powerspec G705 desktop, MMA running on Galaxy A51, Android 10. In MM5 under Devices and Services, I right-clicked on Marantz NR1509 and chose Configure Remote Access. This failed the first time, but the popup reminded me that I had to configure the server IP address to a specific port for port forwarding. The next time I chose Configure Remote Access it was successful. On MMA, I used the HEOS app and chose the monkey media server running via MM5. I am able to access the music on the server and browse the music library, and play music. I don't claim to understand everything. There are two popups that appear in MM5. When I select the monkey media server in MMA and another when I start accessing/playing music. i.e. I have be sitting at my desktop when using the HEOS app on my phone. Is there a way to configure MM5 [if this is the issue] to eliminate these prompts/popups? It seems to happen after exiting and restarting MM5.
EDIT: In effect, using the HEOS app on my phone allows remote access to the server and the receiver for playback?
I just checked the Port Forwarding in my Xfinity xFi internet settings. The port that was suggested in the popup I mentioned above, apparently, I used for the receiver and not the server - AKA - my desktop PC. I checked this because I got a Threat notice from Xfinity xFi earlier today. They blocked an external "Unauthorized Access Attempt" from an IP address supposedly from Germany. This is how I realized that i used that port for the receiver and not the server. xFinity telephone support could not "see" what I was seeing. So, they had me do a screen grab of the notice and email it to
abuse@comcast.net. If anyone has any insight to any of this, I would love to hear it. Prior to this, I had never used Port Forwarding for the receiver.
EDIT: I just got another notice from xFinity xFi 6/14 10:47p [last night]. Wish I knew if this is because of the port I opened?
