BubbleUPnP and Pause/Next track

I am using BubbleUPnP to play from MinimServer 0.72 on QNAP ARM to a Marantz MCR603 and am placing FLAC format music.

I find that pause does not work unless held down and then it stops the track rather than pausing. Next track does not work with Action failed (code 501).

Pause and Next track work if I use the MCR603 as the control point.

Pause and next track work fine if I use JRiver instead of MinimServer.

Any ideas would be welcome
thanks

I have been looking at a similar problem with Denon renderers and the pause function. The Denon problem appears to be caused by the renderer incorrectly depending on receiving DLNA metadata information for FLAC files, even though FLAC is not a DLNA media format. It may be that the Marantz is doing the same thing.

Some media servers seem to add the extra DLNA metadata for FLAC files even though this isn't correct according to the UPnP AV or DLNA specifications. MinimServer is designed to conform to the specifications, so it doesn't do this.

At the moment, I don't have a solution to offer. I'll post an update here if there are any changes to this situation.
