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

[haggis999]

Hi Wap,
My original intention had been to use only MinimServer and BubbleUPnP as my default low power DLNA solution for streaming music from the NAS to my Oppo BDP-105. The only reason to involve JRMC is to enable the use of the special asynchronous USB DAC input of the Oppo. That is the only input that currently supports gapless playback.

Oppo UK tech support told me in mid September that they were developing a gapless playback solution for both DLNA and the HDMI inputs and hoped to introduce these changes via a future firmware update. An experimental (and incomplete) gapless playback solution was indeed issued via the USA firmware update that was released last Thursday. A version for the European models, i.e. BDP-105EU, has not yet been made available but I doubt if we will have long to wait.

If you check Post #7732 on page 258 of the following forum thread you will find much more info on this new beta firmware version,
