the second interface: I actually have no idea what that is!

I tried with your library and tested by changing the track number in the tags on the Miley Cyrus track from 21 to 22 and synced back without trouble.
I wonder if it has something to do with the second interface on linux?
There is a setting you can use for testing this theory, you will need to enter it into:
~/.jriver/Media Center 25/Settings/User Settings.ini
file by hand with a text editor (use vi, or geany or some such) with MC NOT running.
Under the DLNA section [DLNA]
add:
Bind Only To="192.168.72.172"
(I'm assuming that's your ethernet interface, change it to the other if not).
When you start MC back up on the linux server you should note that the second interface shouldn't be showing in your Media Network status display any more.
Then try the Mac sync test again.
Thanks.

Sorry for the stupid question: Where would the MC be normally installed? where should I look for the file in the folder structure?
Thanks! Maik

Hi Maik,
The path:
~/.jriver/Media Center 25/Settings/User Settings.ini
Means in your home directory, there is a .jriver folder and you'll find User Settings.ini in the Media Center 25/Settings folder underneath that.
Normally, I just pull up a terminal as the user running MC and use my favorite editor (vi) from the command line, I'm pretty sure you will use something different!

Hi, I edited the Settings files. However, the moment I start up MC (V 25.0.81) it changes the file and removes my entry. It does not honour the ini update and removes it. I confirmed that 3 times.
Known behavior?
EDIT1: I just noticed that with version 81 it does not crash anymore, even with the second interface. However, i stopped the 'loading library' process, because I noticed things like this in the log:
0227445: 123145468035072: Import: ImportNewFiles: New File: /Users/maik/Pictures/Photos Library.photoslibrary/Masters/2018/07/28/20180728-091942/2006-06-13 20-18-38 - LR-20060613-201838---iewoftheStreetsDresdenPieschen_.jpg
Why would MC touch my photos library? All I expected it to do was to sync the photos from my linux server to my mac.
EDIT2: I am in the mood to report funny things :) this is a behavior I encounter regularly on my mac client..before on 24, now on 25. this happened after I closed MC (exit). It runs wild like this for a long time. I had cases, where it would hijack my keyboard, so that there was no way to kill those rogue processes, aside from hard shutdown of my mac. Not great :( Again, all this is on a brand new mac. I restored my previous MC backup.

I just verified that this works and sticks on 25.0.81. Make sure MC is NOT running when you add it to the User Settings.ini file and that it's in the [DLNA] section if you still want to try it.

The default of an install for MC if the library is empty is to create a library from the standard locations for Music, Audio and Video files.
You can turn this off by going into Tools->Options->Library & Folders and uncheck "Run import on empty libraries".
Also, go to Tools->Import->Configure auto-import and remove any auto-import folders you do want there.

I've got no clue as to what PluginLauncher is. I don't think it's part of MC.
