The installation process isn't much fun, true. The same goes for the
AirPlay bridge (that's the one I use). But once set up, it works really
well. I wrote myself a step-by-step installation guide for LMS which I
now just follow blindly. Here's the AirPlay part (for AirPlay, I think
it looks pretty much the same for UPnP):
AirPlay Bridge:
----------------
1. Select Binary: ~static
2. Apply
3. Configuration file: Generate
4. Wait
5. [Common Parameters] -> Select player: Player information: Choose
name
6. Network interface: Use LMS' network interface
7. Apply
8. Start the Bridge
9. Apply
You might have to delete upnpbridge.xml and upnpbridge.prefs
(/SlimServer/ and /SlimServer/prefs) and restart LMS before trying this
(That's if you want to try this AGAIN, which you probably and
understandably don't want to.)
