Problem: Music Library not working with UPnP Mount
#3
You'll need to find the directory created by your media server that contains only albums and then select that directory when SCAN into the directory structure. By SCAN I mean you repeatedly SCAN into a directory selected from the dropdown list until you find the albums dir. 

Below is an example of what the UPnP media browser creates in /mnt/UPNP for a miniDLNA media server. The directory path to the albums is "/mnt/UPNP/RP1 DLNA/Music/Album/". It may not be named "Album" in your media server.

Code:
pi@rp2:~ $ ls -l /mnt/UPNP/
total 1
-r--r--r-- 1 root root   9 Jan  1  2000  devices
dr-xr-xr-x 8 root root 512 Jan  1  2000 'RP1 DLNA'
pi@rp2:~ $ ls -l /mnt/UPNP/RP1\ DLNA/
total 3
dr-xr-xr-x  8 root root 512 Jan  1  2000 'Browse Folders'
dr-xr-xr-x 11 root root 512 Jan  1  2000  Music
dr-xr-xr-x  9 root root 512 Jan  1  2000  Pictures
dr-xr-xr-x  2 root root 512 Jan  1  2000  _search
dr-xr-xr-x  7 root root 512 Jan  1  2000  Video
pi@rp2:~ $ ls -l /mnt/UPNP/RP1\ DLNA/Music/
total 4
dr-xr-xr-x 358 root root 512 Jan  1  2000  Album
dr-xr-xr-x   2 root root 512 Jan  1  2000 'All Music'
dr-xr-xr-x 191 root root 512 Jan  1  2000  Artist
dr-xr-xr-x   6 root root 512 Jan  1  2000  Folders
dr-xr-xr-x  24 root root 512 Jan  1  2000  Genre
dr-xr-xr-x 227 root root 512 Jan  1  2000  Playlists
dr-xr-xr-x   3 root root 512 Jan  1  2000 'Recently Added'
dr-xr-xr-x   2 root root 512 Jan  1  2000  _search
pi@rp2:~ $ ls -l /mnt/UPNP/RP1\ DLNA/Music/Album/
total 178
dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 512 Jan  1  2000 '16 Greatest Hits'
dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 512 Jan  1  2000 '20th Century Guitar'
dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 512 Jan  1  2000 '6 String Theory'
dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 512 Jan  1  2000 'Abbey Road'
dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 512 Jan  1  2000 'About Time'
dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 512 Jan  1  2000 'Abraxas [Original Master Recording]'
dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 512 Jan  1  2000 'Achtung Baby'
dr-xr-xr-x 4 root root 512 Jan  1  2000 'A Decade Of Hits 1969-1979'

I haven't tested UPnP mounts in couple of years but IIRC the performance was not that good because the local file system created by UPnP media browser adds an extra layer on top of UPnP.
Enjoy the Music!
