Can squeeze2upnp be installed directly on an Intel based Synology DS1815+?

I love this plugin - it works brilliantly with my Marantz AV receiver. I was pleased to get it working natively with 24/96 FLAC material, too.
However, one thing I can't crack is Spotify with Triode's plugin. The problem has been consistent since I started using this plugin - updates haven't really affected the behaviour.
Essentially, I can play songs/albums/playlists/etc from Spotify to my uPNP player, but the following happens:
1. At the end of the first track playback continues onto the second track (and sometimes a third) but the player's screen, squeezeserver and my Duet remote still show the name/coverart/etc of the first track - the time is just stuck at the end of the track.
2. Eventually (or immediately - usually with a playlist), the playlist fails to progress to the next track and the same track will just repeat endlessly. (Repeat is not enabled.) I can manually select the next track in the playlist to make it move on, but then it will get stuck again - sometimes immediately or sometimes after another track.
It will always play complete tracks and repeats tracks in their entirety - it isn't repeating partial tracks.
Any thoughts on why this is happening and how to fix it? I'm interested to see that from a quick search of this thread, no one else appears to experience this issue. It only affects Spotify in my experience - playing tracks from my own library is flawless - and only when playing to a upnp player.
I've attached the log and player settings for upnp-bridge, and the player audio settings on LMS. Version numbers are:
upnpbridge v0.2.10.0 running squeeze2upnp-armv6hf
Tridoe's spotify v2.3.9
LMS 7.9.0 - 1462256937
All running on a Raspberry Pi with Raspbian Jessie.
EDIT: I've just noticed in philippe's signature that my Marantz AV receiver is exactly the same model as yours - NR1603. So this is slightly more mysterious - I guess it's related to the tweaks I've made to the player settings. As the Raspberry Pi is relatively low powered, I tweaked the settings to prevent transcoding as much as possible - so it must be related to that? Can I avoid transcoding and get Spotify working properly?

It's one of these complicated cases ... When set to "large file size", the bridge pretends that the file to be transmitted is 1GB. The problem is that your player is trying to verify that by sending HTTP request that seeks into the file and that interferes with a pacing mechanism I put in place for iBBCPlayer (mainly). You might have some luck putting the parameter "Pacing size" at -1
That's why the other HTTP modes are much preferred. It's really surprising your player does not support any
Hi Philippe,
thanks a lot for your help. Since it did not seem to be worth investing more effort into it, I send the LG Music Flow back and got myself an old center speaker of ebay, a RasPi 3 with the JustBoom Amp and the Max2Play ISO. Works like a charm!

Glad you had it working using a pi. One curiosity: did you try the pacing_size trick before sending the LG back?
I didn't try the pacing_size trick, I'm sorry. You mentioned that the other http modes are preferred and since I bought the player to be used as a DLNA player, I decided to send it back. It looked to me like it would have been a work-around in some way anyway.
I have "UPnP/DLNA Media Interface (v1.0)" listed in my LMS plugins as an active plugin (tick in the box), however, there is no settings listed anywhere.
To my understanding, there should be settings in the drop-down box in the Advanced window?
Is that the correct plugin listed as, if so, why can't I find any settings for it?

Assuming you want to use a UPnP player with LMS that's the wrong plugin. The one you want is the UPnP Bridge - see the thread starting at http://forums.slimdevices.com/showth...l=1#post820082 . That thread is also the up-to-date one for the UPnP bridge.
The UPnP/DLNA Media Interface (v1.0) provides for a very basic UPnP media server (including video and pictures, but without all the audio features of LMS), and allows standard LMS players to look like UPnP players to other UPnP media servers.
LMS 8.1 on PC, Xubuntu 20.04, FLACs 16->24 bit, 44.1->192kbps. 2 Touches & EDO.
LMS plugin UPnP/DLNA Bridge to MF M1 CLiC (A308CR amp & ESLs) & Marantz CR603 UPnP renderers.
Also Minimserver & Upplay to same & to upmpdcli/mpd PC renderers.
Squeezelite to Meridian USB Explorer DAC to PC speakers/headphones.
Wireless Xubuntu 20.04 laptop firefox/upplay or Android mobile with Squeeze-Ctrl/BubbleUPnP controls LMS/Minimserver.
Thank you for your prompt reply, and for trying to help me.
I use a Vortexbox (VB) which is connected to my modem and streams the files to a Squeezebox Touch (SBT) which is connected to my lounge room audio system. The SBT used to be connected to my Denon AVR via optical cable and I have used that set up to listen to my VB files (mainly 24/96 & 24/192) since I purchased the SBT back in 2012.
Recently, I have bought an Oppo UDP-203 blu-ray player and have been trying to take advantage of its 32 channel AKM DAC. Unfortunately, I have had no luck in connecting the SBT to the Oppo despite having the EDO app installed.
So I have been using the networking feature on the Oppo to listen to my music files. This feature, however, is "clunky" and not as good as the "Squeezer" app I have been using in the past so I was hoping that your app would be more efficient than the Oppo Media app.
I added the repository to my "Plugins" page as instructed in the thread link you provided, applied and restarted LMS. Still not showing in my plugins.
I noticed a mention in your linked thread of "c:\programdata\squeezebox\cache\Installedplugins\ plugins\upnpbridge" so had a look - no plugins are listed there (don't know if that matters or not).
I've noticed, when I go into the SBT settings, that there are two kernels listed for downloading - EDO Release Kernel and USB Test Kernel #7. When I download these into the SBT it reboots but they are still listed in the Kernel Update setting.
Again, I don't if this means anything, but thought I would mention it. Perhaps there is some setting in my SBT that is preventing me downloading.
It's been a very frustrating 3 weeks since I bought the Oppo. I'm sure there is a way I can use its DAC,
