If everything seems to work but you have no sound, you propably have these ports blocked so the UPnP/DLNA player cannot get the audio. The Bridge installs a web server on a random port from 49152 (can be configured), up to 32 ports, so your firewall must allow that.

I'd like to really thank PasTim for his numerous suggestions, tests and continuous support and ralphy for patches and builds that allowed this to work on OSX, Windows XP and ARM

These issues go away if you use full processing mode, available since version 1.x.You won't know if 24 bits works before you try as players won't say they do or don't (they go silent) and LMS does not offer possibility for the player to feedback its sample size abilities anyway There is an option in UPnPBridge to then truncate down to 16 bits. if your player does not support 24 bits samples (Sonos and many others don't) and you have such files, then you *must* use uncompressed codecs format like 'pcm' and/or 'aif'.aac might work but there are at least 6 sub-formats and result totally depends of your player, track by track - it's a hit and miss, really.ogg works correctly if your player supports it.flc,mp3 are very likely to work in all cases - transcode the rest in LMS, do not try sample rate higher than 48kHz.So the "agreement" on supported codecs is between LMS and your player, UPnPBridge just helps the negotiation Remember that, in passthrough mode, UPnPBridge does not do transcoding, just a few format tweaking.In Passthrough mode, what codec to choose is a frequent question, so here are few tips: There is a special option named "flow" to send all the tracks as a long single stream to enable true gapless and crossfade (you'll lose metadata display on the UPnP/DLNA player unless re-encoding uses mp3, icy metadata is enabled and supported by the player).Supported codecs are ogg,mp3,aac,flac,pcm and this is indépendant from what your player support as the Bridge does transcoding.Replay gain, fade in/out/in-out are supported.This mode provides much better compatibility as the same format can be sent to the UPnP/DLNA player.In this mode, the tracks are decoded and resampled (if needed) by the bridge and either sent as uncompressed PCM or re-encoded using flac or mp3.Codec setup can be complicated, see below note.Gapless works with UPnP/DLNA players that support it, but quite often it's not true gapless.Except for PCM tracks, replay gain, fade in/out/in-out will not work.Success will vary from track to track, depending on your UPnP/Player characteristics.In this mode, the audio tracks are simply passed to the UPnP/DLNA player with almost no modification (except a few tweaks for PCM -uncompressed- and flac).A list of pre-existing profiles is available as well, but if your player is not included and you manage to have it working, please post here your successful configuration settings so that I can add them to the list of known devices. Once installed, there is a "UPnP/DLNA Bridge" page added to your "Settings" and you'll have to tweak probably a few parameters there. Code: should provide pretty much all the features of squeezelite, except synchronization that does not and will never work (all you can have is a 2-sec accurate sync start)
