The upnp plugin that is default in LMS can't do it.

WhiteBear is not available for mac?

Umm, good point...
Perhaps you can get the people that support the default uPnP plugin for LMS to add the SetNexAVTransportURI function.

We've been thinking that over.
On the windows end there are some audio drivers that essentially do that acting as a shim.
That doesn't really relieve the renderer of it's responsibility to implement the setnext function. It's mainly a workaround that has some downsides (like it can't do metadata properly).

when you say there are some windows audio drivers that act like a shim, what do you mean?   In terms of metadata, as long as the workaround is bitperfect, I think those of us who are stuck with dlna players that don't do gapless would be ok.

bob:
For example, it's what WhiteBear does, though WhiteBear does a lot more.
The software acts as a renderer then controls the real renderer, hence my description of this as a shim.

The only "trick" is that the stream from the fake renderer to the real renderer is never closed regardless of the fact that it's receiving individual files on it's input.
That's why the metadata won't work.
It also doesn't work for all renderers.
