Just my 2p but I think this is one of the biggest hurdles Philippe has.
Not only are there a multitude of different upnp devices and
implementations but there are also quite a wide range of LMS use cases.

One thing that most (but apparently not all) require is gapless
playback. Does Pink Floyd’s,  Dark Side of the Moon play as it should?
That should be on the list for sure.
As you say Spotify I assume you don’t have Qobuz otherwise I’d
definitely add that to your test list and particularly whether a upnp
device can deal with 24/96 or higher.
I have often found that to get gapless I need to operate in Flow mode
(transcoding to PCM) which by definition means max is 16/44.1.
