It does not trigger when playing unrelated consecutive tracks and will do nothing on a non-gapless album (it is not a generic gap remover).

That's interesting, I hadn't considered that.

I just tested this scenario and as expected there were gaps between tracks of different albums with BubbleUPnP but not with Hi-Fi Cast and mconnect.
This could explain what @dartmoor was seeing, although when connected to ethernet the problem disappeared, so unless the test tracks were different on the second round of testing it's still a little baffling.

I was only saying that BubbleUPnP FFmpeg transcoding (if enabled by BubbleUPnP for whatever reason) would require an extra hop (Ropieee -> BubbleUPnP -> MinimServer instead of Ropieee -> MinimServer) and this extra hop could cause a delay which could result in a gap between tracks.

Oh I see. I thought that because in this post you'd already expanded on what transcoding would entail, that you must be addressing my query regarding Ropieee OpenHome failing.

We got there in the end!
