... and it worked.
Sony KDL TV - as uPnP device
Sony STR-DN1030 - AV Receiver - as uPnP device

Found that track info does not update when playing internet radio
streaming MP3/Shoutcast (I tried with and without "Send ICY Metadata").
Just show first track name - which I guess uPnP Bridge sends on starting
the stream.

The devices do not show the artwork - which is a limitation of the
player in the devices.

Had an issue with very short tracks (which were spoken links in big MP3
file that are split using .cue file).
I suspect that the issue might be that the tracks were shorter than the
amount of time that the player is behind LMS but have not diagnosed
further.

Regarding the documentation - it refers to a Generate button which I
presume is legacy from an older version and it has disappeared in more
recent version.


Overall - good.
I have a hardware player attached to the AV Receiver at present. So
playing something required changing source on the AV Receiver - which
meant using an extra remote control.
By using uPnP Bridge I don't need to use that extra hardware player at
all (or I can keep it for local display of artwork and control - it has
a screen) and no need to change source on AV because when uPnP Bridge
starts playing to it the TV/AV switches to it automatically ... that
make someone in the house happy.
