I think that this is a first level issue to look into, before looking into the other differences. Please do let me know how I can help.

MinimServer is setting the UPnP class for a radio stream to 'object.item.audioItem.audioBroadcast' as defined in the UPnP ContentDirectory specification. It seems that the Audi server is setting the UPnP class to 'object.item.audioItem.musicTrack'. This seems to be what is causing the AV Media Controller tool to report an unknown type (the ? symbol). However, it is not preventing this stream from playing for me in WMP 11 on my Windows 7 PC. Can you try playing the stream in WMP 11 on a Windows PC to confirm whether this is working for you?

It is possible to make MinimServer send the stream as a musicTrack instead of an audioBroadcast. You might like to try this on the car renderer. To do this, you can edit the '-1' duration in the playlist to some other value (for example, 120 for a 2-minute duration) and then do a MinimServer rescan.

It is possible that the car renderer (does this use WMP?) is behaving differently from WMP 11 on Windows. Any information you can provide about the car renderer would be helpful.

I copied the (working) MinimStreamer stream URL from WMP and this is what I have:

http://127.0.0.1:9790/minimstreamer/*/E1/$!stream.mp3?WMContentFeatures=DLNA.ORG_PN=MP3;DLNA.ORG_FLAGS=015000000000000000​00000000000000&WMHME=1&WMHMETitle=WwBFADEAXQAgAEUAdQByAG8AcABlACAAMQA=

This is similar to what you posted from the Audi app although there are a couple of differences which might or might not be significant.

This is not the same as the URL sent by MinimServer. It seems that WMP has processed the URL internally to add the extra query parameters that I listed in my earlier post.
