Will not open/play using Yamaha Rx-v3800 network receiver

There is no request from the renderer to start streaming this track and I think the problem is caused by the control point or renderer not being able to handle the resource URI format that MinimServer is using. The URI for this track is quite long and contains some asterisk (*) characters. It is a valid URI and most control points and renderers don't have any issues with it but it looks like it isn't compatible with your Yamaha receiver, as you said.

Asset UPnP uses a different URI format (shorter and with no asterisk characters) and it seems this is the most practical solution for your situation.

Making a LAN proxy of MinimSever with BubbleUPnP Server can also overcome this, as BubbleUPnP Server generates URLs that should be universally compatible (short, simple, only alphanums characters, no query parameters, always a file extension).
