I want to use my Primare NP30 media streamer to play FLAC audio files that are stored on my servers (2 identical libraries, one on a Windows Server, the other on a Debian Linux / OMV server...long story!).
At the moment I'm using the Primare app on an Android device to select where to pull FLAC files from on the network *and* then route the files to the Primare NP30 so it can actually stream the files. Unfortunately there isn't a version of the Primare app for Windows. This isn't great because rather than having a convenient desktop client to use when I'm working at my PC, I first have to unlock my phone, then wait for it to reconnect to the home network over wifi, then for it to find the file server as well as the NP30 before I can finally select tracks etc etc.
So, can anyone suggest a Windows PC app which will do the same job as the Primare app?
The important feature is that the app *must* be able to route the FLAC files from where they're stored on my home network (i.e. not on the local PC client) and then route them over the network so they're then played on the Primare media streamer (i.e. the app must *not* play the files locally on the PC...what's the point in having a Primare streamer with a top notch DAC otherwise?).
I've looked at a fair number of clients but so far I've been unable to find one which will act as a 'controller' rather than a 'player' so I can just 'route' the files over the network to the Primare...
Many thanks in advance!
