Adding upmpdcli as a client for Logitech Media Server
#1
Requesting that upmpdcli be added as a client for Logitech Media Server, assuming of course that the LMS UPnP/DLNA Media plugin has been installed. Currently, with LMS as server, upmpdcli is not avaiable as client.   I can confirm that this combination works, with LMS running on my PC and upmpdcli running on NUC with SnakeOil.

Why this combination?  I like mpd as a player but let down by its Android client e.g. MPDroid has a basic UI and limited ability to configure the library, tags. I have been using UPnP for a while.  So, by using upmpdcli, it gave me the best of both worlds, good mpd playback with a better UPnP server, MinimServer with its library, tags configuration and a good UI with BubbleUPnP App.
 
However, MinimServer would soon be moving to a paid model, with yearly fees!  I am therefore exploring using LMS as a UPnP Server.

In interim before it makes the next release, how do I start upmdpcli manually via Putty and/or get upmpdcli to start up automatically?

p/s it will then be very easy to compare Squeezlite vs mpd (in upmpdcli disguise), by switching phone apps.  I can confirm that the there is no difference between mpd and upmpdcli.
