Yes to stopping the Bridge (and the Onkyo) before applying changes. I
will try the wav as you suggest but at present everything is working
except gapless playback. I shall be interested to see whether Phillipe
thinks the Onkyo should do it. If I apply <accept_nexturi>1 then I get
strange results. Sometimes the Onkyo will play the next track and
sometimes it won't but never gapless. I have noticed that with LMS
controlling volume the Onkyo displays "Volume 20" (20 being my setting)
before each and every track so I have opted for no LMS volume control
which now works - seemingly everything hinged on changing the HTTP
encoding.

I am persisting at this as I am going to offer a build and install
service locally using I think Vortexbox on a small headless PC & Pi's
predominantly. I run a small Internet Consultancy business so have been
dicking about with Linux for donkeys and have had Squeezeboxen and LMS
for years. UPnP is new. For people who have UPnP Receivers I shall
probably offer an hour or so in the price with zero guarantee.
