"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?

    I've written a blog article on this issue.

    https://erictayet.wordpress.com/2013/11/11/solving-denon-avr-3808-dlna-repeating-problem/

    I'd update this piece as and when new information/solutions present themselves.

    Hi -thanks for climbing back on board - hope you don't mind being 'Grr' for purposes of brevity!

    I think we might end up going off-thread here if I correctly assume this is WMP not showing all music files rather than an issue with streaming.

    There are numerous threads (some of which I was -or am still - participating in) about problems with stuff missing from WMP so probably best to see if there is a more relevant one that you can subscribe (or add) to if you want to try and get it fixed.

    Good to hear the streaming problem is sorted anyway...I found this thread after I had solved my problem but the advice in it would have got me there quicker, I'm quite sure!

    Cheers - R

    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 did sort the repeat play issue by changing the settings on the amp - so that's fine.

    My only outstanding issue is that the media player doesn't show all music files

    Apologies for 'assuming' the other SF - over here in the UK we see lots of images of Frisco in TV series - films etc, and inevitably it springs to mind first, so I have been making amends by looking at the link above and it seems like a great place to be!

    Anyway, getting swiftly back on topic...thanks again for the update. I chanced upon this thread and it is the most informative one I have found on this particular issue...I've bookmarked it so that I can point anyone else who's struggling with similar problems

    • and thrown in a 'helpful' vote on your update for good measure. All the best for 2015...R
