My screenshots above are my fully working uPnPBridge settings. I can't
recall if I ever tinkered with Common Paramters
I turned gapless off because it was stopping at the end of each song via
UPnP, but that was several firmware updates ago. Sounds like WiiM has
fixed it now.

Yes it was "chicks" who said to get it to work with uPnP he had to
switch off gapless - that would be a showstopper for many but I saw it

Connected via Optical to Onkyo CR-N755 which is 24/96 capable
Works fine with Airplay bridge except a few dropouts but that could be
to do with current placement of the device and interefrence of some
description i.e. WiFi issue.
Gave it a go with uPNPBridge. Worked straight away WITH gapless -

Just for future reference, Airplay2 devices are supposed to be
backward-compatible with Airplay, and many are. But some are not.

I appreciate the Airplay caution. I took a quick look around and didn't
immediately find any non-Airplay2 devices for sale online.
With the Wiim Mini, would the steps be as simple as plugging it in,
downloading and activating in LMS the UPNP bridge?
Thanks for the help, this thread will remain

Take care with AirPlay just in case the device is AirPlay2 only -
because the plugin is AirPlay1 only.
I have picked up a few old AirPlay devices over the years - generally
20-40 GBP each.

There is also Philippe's Squeezeamp. Just connect a pair of speaker, or
use the SPDIF out. He just built another batch and I think is starting
to send them out. You could contact him to see if he has any not spoken

There are rumors that Google may be developing a replacement for the
Chromecast Audio, one of the greatest discontinued audio devices of all
time. I have two and, with the Chromecast plugin, they work great.
Regular Chromecasts also work for audio casting but, yes, you would need
an HDMI input.
I am not a techie. Have no Linux knowledge at all. Dont have time to

One more note about the Chromecast bridge: I think it allows you to
synchronize players at startup, but it cannot maintain sync after that.
If you have two or more players playing the same thing, but far enough
apart that they do not audibly overlap, this might be sufficient.
