The web based config page at the moment is largely for licensing and profile administration, but the plan is for it to eventually replace the need for MinimWatch.

I'm not sure how you've got the tablet running BubbleUPnP to access the BubbleUPnP server on another vlan unless you've configured the 'Internet access with BubbleUPnP Server' section of the app as bubbleguuum, I think, alluded to in his previous reply?
Either way, this appears only possible because you're using BubbleUPnP and the BubbleUPnP server, so I don't think you've broken the back of it yet.
If the tablet with the BubbleUPNP app is going to be on the same vlan as a UPnP speaker then I think you should be fine with sending music to that (once you've set up firewall rules allowing the speaker to access MinimServer content on 9790), but I don't think it'll be possible to control or see it from another vlan. Likewise, I don't think you'll be able to see your music from the PC.

I hope I'm wrong on all fronts and would love to hear from you if you do get this all working.

Yep, I used the Internet access with BubbleUPnP Server -and set the host to be the LAN address of the NAS with 4 allow rules in the router.

Getting the tablet working really was just an attempt to get something working and understand things a bit more. If I play from it, at least for now it will just be locally on the tablet as I don't think I have any upnp speakers yet.
I had a nas sitting aorund for years and never really used it properly and I wanted one central media repository with common playlist - the amount of times I've sat making smart playlists in itunes to then lose it all in an upgrade or switch to something different is not worth thinking about.

I have my phone working now too which is running degoogled android, so good to know the app still works. AuroraStore said it needed the Google Services Framework (possibly just for the payment)
I used the same method for Internet connection, but made 2 connections - home - using wifi and local ip address:http port
roaming - using mobile or wifi and my domain name:https port

Works like a charm so far and there seems like theres a load of options to toy with. So thats 2 devices done.
One minor bugbear is I wanted the full version and paid for it using the tablet and play store, but there was no way to transfer that to the degoogled phone. So I had to install the Amazon app store to buy the license again lol. But it hasn't registered the purchase through Amazon.

So next will be a pi running volumio and then foobar for my office pc and laptop - I'm guessing I just map a network drive and do it that way for the pc and laptop? And do an nfs share for volumio? Theres no interaction between foobar or volumio and minimserver?

The laptop and office pc will be local players and have an O2 headphone amp and heaphones/small speakers
The volumio is running on a pi in a nanosound one case/config wired to a denon hifi. So for these I just need a way to have them use the same playlists/library once they are created.

One common library with neat meta data, and shared playlists that can self-update when new media is added to the library. I think thats the goal
