"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 guess this isn't the place to troubleshoot your DNP but might I suggest, upgrading the firmware & deactivate AirPlay support just in case it's interfering with DLNA?

    Thanks. The firmware is up to date and it is probably a coincidence but the DNP worked fine until the latest update. I'll look into disabling AirPlay but I'm not sure I have that option.

    The DNP cannot be configured to disable AirPlay but I think I found the problem although there might have been multiple problems. I installed another media player, Kinsky, and it was stuck repeating the same song. I then tried some things on the DNP, including power cycling, turning random on and off, turning repeat on and off and then Kinsky would play a song and stop, rather than play the list of songs. I then took another look at WMP. WMP has several streaming options. One is "Automatically allow devices to play my media..." and another is "Allow Remote Control of My Player....". I guess I turned the second one off at some point. I am guessing that when a song was played via "Play to", when it was complete the DNP could not ask for the next song because it wasn't allowed to control my player. Things seem to be working again.

    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.
