Media Clients

Media Clients are applications that download the media from the server and do the playback themselves. OwnTone supports media clients via the DAAP and RSP protocols (so not UPNP).

Some Media Clients are also able to play video from OwnTone.

OwnTone can't serve Spotify, internet radio and streams to Media Clients. For that you must let OwnTone do the playback.

Here is a list of working and non-working DAAP clients. The list is probably obsolete when you read it :-)

Client Developer Type Platform Working (vers.)
iTunes Apple DAAP Win Yes (12.10.1)
Apple Music Apple DAAP macOS Yes
Rhythmbox Gnome DAAP Linux Yes
Diapente diapente DAAP Android Yes
WinAmp DAAPClient WardFamily DAAP WinAmp Yes
Amarok w/DAAP plugin KDE DAAP Linux/Win Yes (2.8.0)
Banshee DAAP Linux/Win/macOS No (2.6.2)
jtunes4 DAAP Java No
Firefly Client (DAAP) Java No

Technically, devices like the Roku Soundbridge are both media clients and audio outputs. You can find information about them here.
