MediaCenter24 Crashing in Linux

bob:
What DLNA devices are on your network?

Dexos:
DLNA Renderers that I have in the house are
   
-> The existing Windows JRiver instance
-> Ugoos UT3+ running android. There is the built in DLNA services that came with the device and its OS. As well I have tried Air Receiver as a downloaded App that historically was more stable than the one packaged with the device.

Thank you so much for your input. I have every intention of shutting them down and seeing if they were contributing to the problem.

I'll post the outcome of removing them from the network.

Thanks JimH. I am attempting your suggestion as I write this. Will update afer I see the results.

Dexos:
Thank you Bob and Jim for your great ideas. Both of your suggestions were great additions for things to keep eliminating.

But we have an answer. At least the beginnings of an answer.
Yet another clean install, Mint with Mate this time. I was getting tired of the Debian and as the problem followed me across distros I should be safe!!

ran full import with Media Centre and ensured that it was the only computer on my network at the time. (This is getting extreme!). Played must for an hour with out a crash. If it was going to crash it was going to happen within 5 minutes of starting JRiver.

Then I turned on my Windows computer. another 20 minutes of music, no problem. Next I turned on one of my Ugoos UT3+(1 of 2) Android devices. 3 minutes passed and BANG! There is the crash. Turn UT3+(1 of 2) off and JRiver keeps running.

Next lets find out of this happens to UT3+(2 of 2) Guess what/ This one does not cause the  problem.

The difference between these 2 devices is that I recently installed a Beta OS Upgrade from Android  5.1.1 to Android 7.1.2. The new OS Appears to have 2 native DLNA Renderer services installed and running at startup. One of the 2 I can not turn off, and the second appears not to be running at the moment but keeps turning itself back on.

Solution for me is I will downgrade the OS and hope that some time in the future the problem is resolved by either us in JRiver or them on their Android platform.

Quick disclaimer!! I am not knocking Ugoos. Technology is complicated and I expect these things from time to time. Ugoos is a brand I have been using for ages. I have bought other brands but have come back because of the quality hardware. I recommend to anyone (Not running JRiver at the moment to pick one up.) It has an optical out that from my perspective gives me digital as close to the amp as I can get it.  Has been rock solid and stable. The other is in my bedroom and is my morning alarm clock.

JimH:
Nice job of finding the source of the problem.  Thanks for reporting what you found.
