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.
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.
