MinimServer, MinimStreamer, and HQPlayer Desktop

[simoncn]

To answer your question, MinimServer and MinimStreamer stream music to a UPnP/DLNA renderer using the HTTP protocol. It would be possible to write software that runs on the same machine as MinimServer/MinimStreamer and consumes a transcoded HTTP stream from the same URL that is used by a UPnP/DLNA renderer. This would use HTTP as the streaming protocol but the stream would be routed to the local host instead of going across the network. Does HQPlayer have the capability to consume an HTTP stream?

Although this is theoretically possible, I share rompolompo's opinion about the value of doing it.
