Foobar alternative for PC and Android remote control

This will continue to work for some time but can come back to disturb later.
Logon as guest and/or without password is being phased out. And SMBv1 is also. Samba often follows the default behaviour of official SMB.
Sooner or later we will have more recent versions around. And then it's upon extra configuration to enable these old methods again. Which I expect Samba to provide even when the options are long gone from MS implementations.

The reason for this is security of course. SMBv1 is a risk. And SMB access without password is a big risk. But if only read-only accounts can do so, no potential harm. And disregard the encryption and signing misses of SMBv1 - with media and for home networks these are nice to have, but no must.

I'm using Samba 3.1.1. No reason to panic yet

As an IT guy I only hear panic when things don't work no more as they did foreva!

Just tried and no joy. No support for DLNA, no anonymous login to Samba, wasn't able to play anything from my server.

Symfonium supports dlna. I disabled it for security reasons. But it's there

Symfonium supports dlna.

Symfonium does support DLNA endpoints, but it does not support DLNA servers.

To clarify, Symfonium is Control Point software. It does not act as a DLNA Server, but as an interface to an external Server like Plex or Jellyfin.

It can act as just a Control Point, sending commands to such Servers and other, external Renderers.

Or it can be both CP and Render locally. Its Renderer function cannot be controlled by external CP.
