Thanks for your reply.  I had two issues with that software (0.0.70.0 -
current as of today on Play) on my setup.
1.  It would not play remote media to remote renderer.  Example - I open
UPnPlay and select "My Desktop" from the library.  I also selct "My
Desktop" from the Renderer list.  I add a video to the queue and
navigate to the play list to play it.  It does not play, and a message
is display in UPnPlay indicating the play list is empty.  Same result if
I select play directly from the media list in Library.

2.  No functionaltiy to stop the media remotely.  Pause yes, but no
stop.


I also think the Twonky interface is more intuitive.
