Fritz!Box 7590 and wired LAN.

I thought to use the built in media server to set up some radio stations for easy access by various devices.

Unfortunately it does not seem to work very well here so would like some feedback from others who might have tried doing this.

The first limitation is that apparently it will only function with MP3 streams.

BUT ...... when I launch VLC and try the available UPnP devices, the Fritz!Box is most times not even listed.

When it is listed it is rare for all the radio stations to be listed as available from the Fritz.

I would like to hear from others who have used or tried to use this function, thanks.
