I'm considering writing a plugin to create a bridge between the two, but
not decided yet and I don't think I will do that before a few month
anyway and somebody else might do that before me. If your AVR is
UPnP/DLNA, you can use a similar plugin I wrote that transforms such
devices into a LMS player.
LMS 7.7.2 - 5 radio, 3 Boom, 4 Duet, 1 Touch, 1 SB2. Sonos 2xPLAY:1,
PLAY:3, PLAY:5, Marantz NR1603, JBL OnBeat, XBMC, Foobar2000, XBoxOne
(sort of)
