Genius! I love you!!! :-)

OK so I have this working on XBMC & Onkio receiver:

korva-control --action="" --device=uuid:bb72eec3-dcd6-0569-0659-001f40cabc77 --file=/storage/music/flac/01-gin_wigmore-oh_my.mp3

If I understood the rest of your kind advice, I now need something like:

korva-control --action="" --device=uuid:bb72eec3-dcd6-0569-0659-001f40cabc77 --file=serverName:port/stream.mp3

And something to create that stream.mp3 .... which brings us to:

You need to be aware that DLNA renderer need HTTP and are likely to be a
bit picky about the stream format you send them.

Knowing that MPD had recently a patch applied that recognizes when device accepts DLNA streaming:

... I had setup a MPD http stream to try.... tested it with VLC.... but:

korva-control --action="" --device=uuid:bb72eec3-dcd6-0569-0659-001f40cabc77 --file=192.168.1.108:8760

korva-control --action="" --device=uuid:bb72eec3-dcd6-0569-0659-001f40cabc77 --file=http://192.168.1.108:8760

Is it possible to specify a URL instead of a file?

Also, do you know of a better option to create stream compatible with most DLNA devices then MPD?

Your help is very much appreciated!
