MinimServer/BubbleUPnP/J River combo doesn't do gapless

As an initial test, I used BubbleUPnP to stream music from the NAS version of MinimServer to my PC, using J River Media Center as the DLNA renderer. However there was no gapless playback. In contrast, if you simply use JRMC for everything then gapless is not a problem.

No doubt there is a simple explanation for this apparent discrepancy but I must confess to being a little hazy on exactly how gapless playback is achieved. Can anyone shed some light?

Gapless playback is never simple.

Gapless playback is controlled by a protocol interaction between the control point and the renderer. The server is not involved. There are two alternative protocols for gapless playback: Linn DS (OpenHome) and SetNextAVTransportURI (UPnP). As you don't have a Linn DS, the latter protocol would need to be used. Perhaps there is an incompatibility with how BubbleUPnP and JRiver are supporting SetNextAVTransportURI.

Are you using the latest versions of both BubbleUPnP and JRiver?
