They are very detailed and I followed them to the letter, including resetting the WMP databases etc. For testing purposes I simply added just one folder of FLAC files. The replay of metadata was very sporadic, but here we are simply trying to find out if the Pausing of a FLAC file served from a PC to a Denon AVR would work.

The results were as follows.
The DENON AVR X1000 would pause a FLAC file when used as a player (i.e. the 2 box model), i.e. using the DENON's UI to select and play a file.

When used in a three box model with both the Denon Android Control app (V1.6) it would not pause but would stop. On checking the DENON On screen status, something weird happened, it bounced all the way back to the top level - general high level menu "Network". However on pressing the STOP command in the app the "system" would resume playback of the file but from the beginning of the file. In other words It was not PLay/Pause, but a sort of hybrid Play/Stop-Restart.

I also used Bubble UPnP but here it would simply respond with ACTION Failed Code 501.

Hopefully you have enough information to repeat my experiments, I'll keep an eye on this thread to see if you need more information.

Thanks very much for all this very detailed information.
