Thanks for info. But apple air is not exclusively on apple products. It is used for streaming.
https://www.wiimhome.com/wiimmini/technology Seems like a good and cheap product.

And how much would that device sell for if it didn't have to pay royalties for something bluetooth already does?

In any case, my point still stands, if you are forking out that much for a device, what's another 3%-4% for Musicbee support.

It's all off topic anyway, I know I poked the bear in this thread stating I was open to anything but this all belongs in the wishlist section of the forum. Feel free to post anything you (or anyone else) want in there and if it tweaks my interest I will get involved.

I am off topic here but its not bluetooth (not capable of lossless streaming) its 5G Wi FI (capable of lossless). And for some reason the cheap variants of the product don't support google (chrome) cast. I personally think MB should natively support those protocols to not be left behind because they have become so widely used by younger people that are in the middle between audiophiles and casual users.

What?

Aren't these protocols supported due to the fact that you can stream music through your purchased hardware?

I don't know why you would bother with WiFi when you can use LASERS!!!!

My preference is a couple of cans and some string... old skool!

I'm open to other ideas....

Allow me to join the ranks of off-topic posters to this thread ;-)

There is one existing plugin that many, many MusicBee users would love to see updated,  improved and maintained.
It's the UPnP/DLNA plugin that was created by Steven.

But I'm aware that this is pretty much an unrealistic ask/suggestion.
Reasons being:
–  Steven giving up on it to me indicates it is a project much to complicated for a single developer who is only able to invest some of his free-time.
– It will probably require the developer to have direct access to-/ownership of various brands and types of hardware devices being capable functioning as a UPnP/DNLA renderer.
– It will require a lot of testing, both by the developer and by users that will need to properly share and report their findings and experiences, which probably not many people will be willing or able to do.

So, please excuse me for being a bit off-topic and unrealistic.  ;-)

Just an observation:

Looking for the latest version of a plugin, the start post is usually a good place to look first.
But in this case the start post only has the link to the first version (1.0), and finding the most recent version requires searching through all posts.
It may be better if the start post was updated to (always) contain the latest version?

I've modified the first post to link to the plugin page. The latest version is always available on that page (when I remember to update the link...).

I did look at that. It's a decent size plugin with lots of elements. It might be a little beyond me as it deals with a few things I have zero experience in. I'm taking a small break from coding stuff, we'll see after that.

Thanks, BoringName!

Thanks, BoringName!

You're welcome. It's had over 100 downloads so I guess it's getting a little bit of use (who knows how many downloads are bots) and no issues popping up in here is a good sign it just works...... I hope.
