Minimserver compatible replacement for two Sonos Play 5s.

It seems that the HEOS app does this only when it detects that the server is MinimServer. There is not much that MinimServer can do to circumvent this intentional control point action.

I did just try having BubbleUPnP server proxy MinimServer to see if it made a difference, but it still identifies as MinimServer. Just for fun, is there any way to modify how MinimServer identifies itself?

It seems to work fine with BubbleUPnP, and it's much better visually, the one thing I can't test though is whether you'd be able to control groups or stereo pairs that have been defined within the HEOS app (as I only have one speaker to hand), as I know with Sonos you can't.
