Now that MC 11 has been released, I thought I'd put out a wish list for new and or improved functions in the UPnP server. Some of these may already work on some media players, but don't work on the Streamium. Others have been mentioned but are not yet implemented. Here it is in my own prioritized order:
1) Alphanumeric search capability (this one will really help with the Streamium, due to it's navigation bugs)
2) Enable / disable shuffle mode from the media player
3) DSP functionality for UPnP streams (replay gain is clearly the most important function here)
4) Internet radio support (still doesn't work with the Streamium)
5) Display artist and name on media player for internet radio streams
6) Better control of randomization in smartlists (Currently the playlsit is randomized at each track change. This is acceptable but it would be nice to select between one randomization at the start of the playlist and the current implementation)
7) Cover art support
Suggestions from other users?
Any comments from J River on feasibility and timing would be appreciated.
TIA
P.S. Internet radio does work on the Streamium with at least one third party UPnP server I know of - namely Cidero UPnP control point / Internet Radio Server software:
