Many thanks for your feedback.

Quote: Hmmm. Whitebear does not really do very much itself concerning
coverart; it just passes on to PlugPlayer the url on the SqueezeCenter
server where the coverart can be found; and then PlugPlayer itself
(should) connect directly to SC and download the art. => So I wonder if
perhaps there is some kind of firewall problem that prevents PlugPlayer
from connecting to SC? (Just an idea...) Or maybe PlugPlayer has a
"settings" to allow/disallow downloading of coverart??

Well I don't see a setting like this. With asset upnp server it works
fine. I checked the log, but I don't see error messages. Even my
Receiver doesn't display cover-art, therefor I assume that whitebear
does something different.

Quote: Are you playing the music on the iPad? Whitebear basically
"offers" to the player a list of all music formats that it can deliver;
and then the player/client chooses from the list whichever one it
prefers. Normally Whitebear offers PCM first in its list (because PCM
is the only "must offer" format) and so very often the player/client
just chooses the first offer. => If you want, you could try changing
the Whitebear Settings for the PlugPlayer client: try changing some of
its "Offer XX before YY" options...

No I only use Ipad as Upnp controller and the Receiver is the
player/client. I don't see offer like "offer flac before PCM in
whitebear". I checked you tray-tool. There is only an option for
mp3/losless and PCM. Flac is not mentioned. Just for testing i used PP
as player, but I did not display the coverart either

Quote: Interesting. Could you please post me log from Whitebear showing
what happens when you try to connect with these clients? (In the
Whitebear logging options, you should check SSDP (both boxes) M-SEARCH
and HTTP Server checkboxes).

As they don't display your server I don't know how to connect the
client. None of my client's despite PP as Controller finds your server,
therefor I cannot try to connect from client side. Maybe whitebear
doesn't use standard port.
