Furthermore, whilst I'm happy to tinker, I need to understand. When I say 'need', I am stupidly obsessive about it. It bothers me. As a (retired) technical architect I can't really go forward without a design I comprehend.

That is a holistic approach but flawed by unknowns, I see Simon has filled in the gaps. My brothers a retired electronic engineer and he doesn't plan a job he engineers and improvises, takes a pride in lecturing that when things go wrong, since he hasn't planned, and that he can engineer his way threw it, even thou it's a disaster. Plannings good but there are limits and no planning can be a disaster....

Perhaps Simon can explain why a Denon network player doesn't see it as a "UPnP control point" and needs the URLs entered. That's one of my questions in life.
