The issue might be with my renderer, which is not bothering to display anything, when the stream type is WAV. That is, no album art or Album/Genre/Artist - literally, just the filename.

I've seen this behavior with both Sony and Pioneer Blu-ray players, used as renderers. I'd hoped that AIFF would present differently.

Everything works, in that the tracks play and the control point (i.e. Bubble or Kazoo) displays the meta data just fine.

Did the WAV stream contain tags? If it was produced by MinimStreamer transcoding, it wouldn't contain any tags.

I've come across players (don't remember which) that ignore the UPnP metadata sent by MinimServer and insist on reading metadata (such as album art and artist info) from the audio stream. This is an extremely poor/lazy design.
