As bpa said, it could be that all tracks are aggregated into a single big stream. My UPnP and CC plugin cannot do that because they do not decode audio tracks, they passthrough audio received from LMS but transform LMS commands into UPnP/CC commands. My AirPlay plugin is a full decoder/resampler as the airplay protocol is a sort of virtual audio cable (over simplifying) that needs [email protected] (and I use pcm only), so everything (including silence when pause, fade-in/out) becomes a long single track. Doing something similar on UPnP/CC is possible but it's a lot of work as I would need to combine the 2 logics (passthrough and full processing) + still send the UPnP/CCA command for play/pause/stop and manage various difficulties in reporting timing to LMS and handling properly silence when paused (just a few examples). I don't have the appetite for doing that currently, but all my code is available on GitHib if somebody wants to LMS 7.7.5 - 5xRadio, 3xBoom, 4xDuet, 1xTouch, 1 SB2.
