"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 - I think that's the best we can hope for.

    I can attempt to bring this thread to the attention of someone at Microsoft, but

    no promises that anyone will respond.

    I just looked on the Denon website and they report that the receiver is System 7 Certified  http://ca.denon.com/ca/product/Pages/Product-Detail.aspx?CatId=3d9614d1-8000-4106-ab91-8192242cab83&SubId=40b5820d-83c2-4e93-9909-60aae60e0bdd&ProductId=e090f9c8-98d5-41b9-8f03-0b2a17016964  .  But, the Microsoft site you sent link to doesn't list the receiver, so there is an inconsistency.  Does System 7 Certified imply that it should work with Windows Media Server within Windows 7 or does it just mean it works with Windows 7 but potentially only other media players?

    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.
