"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?

    Thanks for that.  My model is a 5308CI and I don't see it on the list any more.  I know it used to be certified and it has the Windows Certified sticker right on it.  It used to work perfectly with Windows Media Player 12 on Windows 7 - I just don't recall which update made it stop working.

    Two questions:

    1. is there a way to ask for the 5308CI to be tested/added to the list - to be clear that it's either still compatible or that compatibility has now been dropped.
    2. if it turns out that it was a Windows Media Player change that caused the compatbility, is there a way to install an older version of Windows Media Player on the current version of System 7?

    Thanks.

    specifically, what is the model number and is it listed as certified or

    compatible for Windows on the MS site

    Thank you for your quick response.  I did query Denon originally, but since the problem doesn't seem to occur with other media players (such as playing from my Android), it seems like it might be something wrong with Windows Media Player and in searching for updates I saw a few people reporting the same kind of issues with Windows 8 releases and Windows Media Player with Windows 8.  There must be some type of messaging that Windows Media Player is looking for from the device to know to advance to the next song rather than just replay the same song over again.

    Okay - it's now been a year and a half since Windows Media Player "Play To" function actually worked without repeating the same song over and over.  It is definitely, in my opinion, an incompatibility between Windows Media Player 12 and the Denon since I tried playing from media players on my Android etc. and they have no problem, but Windows Media Player has this frustrating ""repeat the same song over and over until I manually advance it".  Did anyone from Microsoft ever investigate it?  Any ideas?
