MusicBee-HQPlayer is a MusicBee plugin to enable playing music stream from MusicBee to HQPlayer.
Thank Steven for prividing the source code of uPnP/DLNA plugin for reference.

Please remember to close the MusicBee main program before you copy the dll file, the plugin will be effective when you re-open the MusicBee program.
