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?

"Play-to" network device keeps repeating same song

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.

2015-01-03T21:14:33+00:00 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.

2014-10-03T10:44:40+00:00 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.

2014-10-03T05:04:31+00:00 Same problem occurs when sending to my Samsung TV.
Did this get reported as a bug in Media Player?
I could go to the TV and select the play list from there, but the user interface is a hideous mess on the Samsung and it takes dozens of selections to get to the playlist on the DLNA services. It would be so nice to be able to just pick the playlist from my PC and have it play more than one song.
