Crestron Linn Lite Driver

The Crestron drivers do not look for Linn DS/DSM players by their names but for their capabilities. That is, searches for UPnP services of the Linn DS/DSM products and adjusts accordingly. This allows new firmware features and new product support WITHOUT the need for any Crestron driver updates.

Capabilities

Supports the Davaar firmware release, Note: 4th November 2022: still to be release, that will add support for the ‘Gateway Server’ component, Gateway API, to the products can be found HERE
