"Play-to" network device keeps repeating same song

Anonymous

When I move a group of songs to the play area on the right-hand panel and select the "play-to" drop-down item, my DLNA compatible AV controller appears. When I select it, a new window opens, and the first song on the list begins playing on the AV device. Fine.

The problem is that song just keeps repeating. It doesn't matter whether the "repeat" control is turned on or off. I can click on any song in the list and it happily plays that song - over and over and over :-(

If I select a saved playlist from the DLNA client, it plays just fine and doesn't repeat. Unfortunately, I want to control the device from WMP, not from the panel of the DLNA client.

Help appreciated.

this is likely something that needs to be fixed by Denon. do they have a support

forum and are other users reporting the same issue?

Hi Colin and thanks for taking the trouble to reply... in the interests of keeping it brief I failed to adequately point out that I might have a solution for the previous poster, pretty much along the lines you mention. In my case it is with a Marantz player but the same thing applies...shuffle needs to be off. SF-Tom's earlier post did mention something similar but 'Grr's' post suggested he still had issues.

I've had the Marantz for nearly a year but only just got 'play to' working - previously third party security was preventing 'play to' although all other streaming methods worked ok. Now with a new security set-up all systems are go - but 'Airplay' remains the best option because of its support for gapless playback.

Maybe 'Grr' will pick this up and update. - Thanks again! Ric

I found that I could "play to" my Denon so long as I ensured that the random play feature was switched off on the Denon. If it was on, then WMP would keep repeating the first track through the Denon. Check that first. If that is not causing your problem then you will need to go through the rest of the thread as there are other solutions suggested there.

Cheers

Col

Hi Grr!

To save me backtracking through the whole thread was yours the repeating track issue and did you ever manage to resolve it? - Best...R

I've had a Denon AVR -X2000 for around 6 months now and not had any problems with the play to feature - until I did the equivalent of a factory reset on the wmp libraries to try to get the music it wouldn't recognise included. Not only didn't that work but somehow the "play to" decided to play up.

What finally fixed it for me was putting the amp menu on the tv and turning off the repeat on a track playing (as Eric said). However, I had to go to the hardware and use the TV to do it - using the apps or the web interface didn't do it. Although now when I send something via play to, it doesn't automatically play but I can live with that.

So it's semi-solved now. Although I don't understand what caused it, it really does appear to be a Denon issue rather WMP. Although SF-Tom is right to say that you probably need to make sure both the "Automatically allow devices to play my media..." and another is "Allow Remote Control of My Player...." are on.. although I don't dare test it as I've spent far too long trying to fix this.

I hope this helps someone in future.
