I’ve been thinking about purchasing a hi end streamer but keep taking myself out of it. However if I eventually do succumb I would want to use it with the UpnpBridge. The only way I can think of ensuring that it will work is to take a full working LMS with me if I audition the streamer somewhere.

Thanks to all for your replies... sounds encouraging. Probably the best step would be to spend a little $$ on a low end device and play around with the plugin before pulling the trigger on a unit. Will see if there are any dealers in Kiwi Land for the unit but probably wont be.

I use the uPNP/DLNA bridge with a couple of different endpoints. It works pretty well (including artwork display, native player controls and LMS controls), but it is perhaps slightly flakier than using a native player. There are a lot of settings to play with which might improve matters, but

I use the bridge to connect to a pairof Kef LSX wireless speakers. Initially I had occasional problems with the speakers failing to move on to the next track, but since ticking the "Flow" option in the UPNPBridge settings that no longer happens - the plugin and speakers are used for hours each
