"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?

    Not so fast. I've got a Denon DNP-720AE media streamer. Notice that magic word Denon? Worked like a champ for a couple months either when playing from it or to it. Then WMP Play To wouldn't work at all  but going through the network setup again on the DNP fixed that. Then WMP Play To kept repeating the same song. Trying some of the suggestions above didn't fix it so now I am trying to find something that will.

    BTE, this device comes with an app for an iPad or iPhone (I just call them collectively iToys). If you want an exercise in frustration, try the app. Again, worked for awhile then got itself into a state where it can't even find the DNP. The app is just stuck in that state and there is no way to go forward or backward. Removing and reinstalling the app won't even get it out of that state. Like I said, an exercise in frustration. I guess the Denon corporate motto is "Great ideas, lousy implementations."

    Not sure about your specific Sony model Chris, but there're tons of frustrated Denon users. Not sure about newer models but older Denon models ending xx08 are not de-certified as DLNA devices.

    I have a WDTV Live & Xbox 360, both certified DLNA devices & WMP Play To works just fine.

    Perhaps you should try upgrading the firmware on your Sony.

    It is NOT denon, I have the exact same problem in WMP 12, going to a Sony stereo. It was skipping to the next song, then one MS update and gone....

    Hope Microsoft fix this properly and then promote this feature... better than Sonos and apple airplay if it worked.

    Thanks Bill for the update. I think we can finally lay this problem to rest. It's definitely a Denon issue.
