If any compatible media or UPnP servers are found they just appear in the browse music section of the Sonos app.
Ah, thanks. There’s a Rygel process running on the server, but nothing extra in the Browse section of the app.
It probably needs some weird, unguessable options to be selected in the rygel.conf file.

Not quite, you have to enable UPnP on the client. On iOS its Settings / System / Media Servers.
In fact I was replying to the OP who had already enabled the settings, hence felt no need to tell him yet again to enable them, he asked where the media server / UPnP would appear in the App and made no mention of iOS.

Thanks controlav, but as Belly says, I know where to enable them (it’s the same place in the Android app). It was just the problem of not knowing what they would look like when the controller found them.
Sadly, my problem is almost certainly at the Server end, so the UPnP notifications are not even getting onto the network for the controller to see!

My bad I missed that detail.
Well… I’ve checked the config of my DLNA server (Rygel, based on Linux) and if I open Windows Media player on my laptop, I can see the media server and play audio files from it but… the media server is not visible to the Android-based Sonos S2 app!
It simply does not appear in the Browse section, nor anywhere else. Note that I have turned on the settings for Media Servers and UPnP.
Does anyone have any further suggestions for settings to check, that might explain why it’s not working?
I should add that I’m not looking to do anything sophisticated - I just want to my Sonos gear to play from the DLNA server. I can do the management of the server content via NFS without any issues.

I suspect that this option is broken. I've tried a variety of servers and nothing ever shows.
I just configured Windows Media Player to be a UPnP server and Sonos found it just fine and played tracks without issue.
