Anyone having trouble with DLNA playback on 2.9?  Worked perfect with 2.8.  I have used JRiver for years.  I can’t get my signature rendu SE to show up in JRiver (also doesn’t show up on a DLNA analysis program called white bear).  
 

I have the same settings as before…nothing.  Some info in no particular order:

 

• MPD/DLNA is active (at least when trying to get JRiver to work)
  Rebooted the router, etc.  
• Tried shutting off defender on my music server (dedicated win 10 machine)
• I do have compatibility mode selected on the Rendu.  
• Tried clearing DLNA cache and resetting mdp.  
• Rebooted the Rendu a few times…I get a green light on the back on the Rendu.  
• I use a latest version optical module fed from a simple unmanaged netgear switch with a cat 6 patch cord
• I have DLNA enabled in JRiver (just like before)….
• I have 24 bit audiophile renderer selected in JRiver (just like before) with all the DLNA options selected under advanced
• my Rendu sees my PSA DAC as reported under DAC diagnostics.
• Yes, I see the Rendu on my network by typing in its ip address.
• other DLNA devices, like Samsung TVs show up without issue.

 

Roon works fine.  I do use both programs and switch back and forth often.  
 

thanks for any ideas.

 

edit: I had the Rendu name as Dale’sRendu (also tried Dale’s Rendu).  The Rendu software does not like the apostrophe.  Showed up as soon as I removed it.  I don’t recall what I called the Rendu in 2.8 but likely used the apostrophe.  
 

little more info for completeness, the Samsung tv, I mention above, is called Andrea’s TV, shows up in JRiver just fine.  Obviously no big deal but something interesting I think.  Software is always fun.

I posted this in the incorrect thread (Sonore opticalRendu....apologizes).  I think this belongs in the OS 2.9 thread.  I believe there is a gapless playback issue with OS 2.9 in MPD/DLNA.  Below is based upon a couple steps over the last few days:

 

First

 

I have a new issue using JRiver over DLNA.  This has ALWAYS worked on my network/system until now.  My first play (after switching from Roon) was white noise.  Cleared the queue and started play again, all seemed good.  Now, there is a very brief pause at the 20 seconds to remain mark of each song. 

 

OS 2.9 (latest), JRiver/jremote (latest), signature rendu SE, PS Audio DSD mkii DAC.

 

Second

 

I believe the issue is a gapless problem.  Only occurs on live music (or I assume abbey road) using JRiver/dlna.  Gapless works fine in Roon.  Ug, who knows where the problem is.  
 

Think the issue revolves around the SetNext function.  JRiver allows me to disable SetNext (for broken renderers).  Disabling SetNext moves the pause (tick) to the beginning of the next track (right at the transition), from the 20 seconds left point.

 

Finally

 

I just re-installed 2.8.  gapless play works as it should.  None of the issues described above.

 

Thanks, Dale
