I know there are good efforts going on to improve UPNP functionality. Here is something that might be worth consideration;
Have a "UPNP Mode" toggle available, probably best in the slide in menus, for music/video/movies.
With UPNP mode enabled, any media played or queued would push directly to the UPNP target device.
Here is how it might work;
- In Settings, have an option for the user to enter a default UPNP target, or leave blank.
- While browsing media with toggle on, when you hit play (or queue) the media will push to the default target. If no default target is defined, a list of available targets could pop up. If no UNPN targets are available, just play locally and/or return a "No UPNP Targets Available" notification.
This approach would be most helpful for selecting and queuing music, as the need to keep selecting "play to" and choose a target each time would be eliminated.
