A control point gets set to use a particular media server. Then it tells the server what to use as player/renderer. Then the server sets up transcoding based on a renderer specific profile.
Then, on reload(???), it sets up menues offering streams appropriate for that renderer.

Makes sense?

I mean it sets up menues, and then SENDS them to the control point on reload

The industry standard UPnP protocol doesn't allow a control point to tell the server which renderer is being used. There are other options within the UPnP architecture that might provide this capability but they are unlikely to work with industry standard control points and renderers.

Which control point and which renderer (in your personal experience) can do what you are describing?

BubbleUPnP and plugplayer control points with renderer denon AVR1912 and Xbmc/kodi and WD TV Live HD. These appear to dö something like that when using serviio as a server.
