Use Music Assistant as DLNA Media server

[marcelveldt]

Implement a DLNA Media Server interface so that the media items within Music Assistant can be browsed from DLNA compatible renderers. Might also solve the issue with missing metadata on the player device itself

When I installed Music Assistant I thought that it was a DNLA renderer, and was initially disappointed to discover not. Now that I've used Music Assistant I appreciate the gapless playback (especially "Strict mode") to Chromecast devices because I've not been able to do that via DNLA. Also I now have the ability to skip through .flac files on my Yamaha MusicCast WXAD-10 when I use the Music Assistant player UI, which isn't possible via the native Yamaha controls at this time.

So I'm happy to give up the metadata on my Google Nest display (and being able to browse via the BubbleUPNP app) for the gapless playback. But having all of that together would be great :)

Adding some support for this request. I've got some SqueezeBox Radio devices that will happy connect to a DLNA server; my use case would be to use Music Assistant to access my Apple Music account, and serve up playlists/access to those DLNA renderers.

You should use the squeezelite provider to connect to these
