No, I really don't think so. The issue you are having might really be due to the antivirus being overly protective of sockets. I've read that some people had similar issue with the same antivirus/security suite. I don't know how you are familiar with that part of technology, but to communicate between the bridge and LMS, a channel must be opened using two sockets (IP address and port). There are many complications with sockets left open by programs on computers and although it should not be the case, there is a risk of exhaustion or security and various solution (not always great) have been developed to deal with these problem. The issue with the bridge is that when it opens a channel with LMS to grab the audio data, the transfer is not smooth due to the nature of a bridge and the numerous buffering involved (in the bridge and in the UPnP player). So typically, the 1st track is very quickly transferred, then the beginning of the second starts quickly as well and then... streaming might pause for a very long time (might even be almost the whole duration of the 1st track). So, for example, some on-line servers can't cope with that and assume the link is broken and systematically close it. What I'm wondering in your case is if a monitoring application of some sort could not force-close such sockets that have a burst of activity then *nothing* for minutes. It's not a good behavior, but... The test I'm asking you to do will ensure that no matter what (at least for mp3) the whole track is quickly gobbled by the LMS-to-Bridge side, regardless of what happen on the Bridge-to-UPnP side.
