tried to play with Digital Media Renderer Analyser to test my AVR and it discovered pio twice, see attachment
one of the lines is in red, which one should I prefer and what differences are?
The red entry [DMR v2] indicates that your receiver supports both the original UPNP specs (v1) but also the version 2; that version added some new features including I think the ability to do synchronised play to multiple devices.
It’s the first renderer I have seen from a big name manufacturer to support v2, so can you please run the renderer report and post the result here? Also the same report from the v1 renderer so we can compare.
It is a bit academic for the moment since I have not yet seen a major Control Point (not MC even) which actually makes use of the DMR v2 new features. But given that a renderer maker has broken the ice, it’s possible that others will now be tempted to jump in the water too.
sometimes Digital Media Renderer Analyser couldn't find any renderers in my LAN so I've had to try it over and over again, check Use Windows discovery box, restart, etc. to make it see anything
This probably means that you have a routing problem on your LAN. What configuration of routers and WIFI boxes do you have? What firewalls and anti virus software? How are your devices getting their IP addresses, via DHCP or static? And are there any IP address conflicts (duplicate IPs, different subnet, etc)? It’s best to use DHCP with DHCP IP reservations for each of your devices..
another problem is that when it automatically started supported audio format test it could only play the very first track, all subsequent ones failed with timeout
but if I start it one by one it plays not only the very first one
This may either be the network issue mentioned above. Or possibly a SetNext issue. When you send me the renderer report we can check deeper.
though according to specs pio only support stereo via network I was really surprised to hear that DMRA was able to send and play 6 ch wav/192
now I wonder whether is it true (or some error) and if yes then how to configure dsp/transcoding in jriver in order to play multichannel flac/dff etc. via dlna
The renderer report will show what formats it can play (or more accurately what it claims to be able to play)
