That's OK if you've got a Sonos.

True I suppose but that rather misses the point.

A couple of years back when I was last looking at streamers I asked
manufacturers about some facilities I wanted and their product didn't
appear to have. I was told that DLNA doesn't support xxxyyyx and we will
have to do some hacking to make that work. At the time Sonos could do it
using Samba/SMB and so I was mystified as to why the use of DLNA seemed
so compulsory for many manufacturers especially if it was limiting as
they implied.

I don't have any xxxyyyx, so it's not a problem for me ;-)
