The issue is how to drive that feature ? I don't have any API doc for that. In fact, and in general, UPnP or CC I have 2 ways to do gapless 1- The player allows one track to be downloaded while the other is playing: this is the way some UPnP players work and in that case, LMS supports very well that capability. Of course, some UPnP players, although they do download in parallel of playing, don't start the next song right after the current one, but that's implementation stupidity 2- The player does not allow that and then my bridges need to always have tracks in raw PCM and merge them together in a "webradio-like" flow. That means that either the bridges decode the tracks (CPU and complexity, I don't feel like doing that) or LMS always does the decoding and sends same sample rate and size. And then after that, to be able to "fool" LMS that a track has changed, I would need to do a bit of a complicated calculation to fake a "next track" because, from the player's point of view, this would be a long single track now ... so a lot of complications :( LMS 7.7.5 - 5xRadio, 3xBoom, 4xDuet, 1xTouch, 1 SB2.
