This does work and in this situation it is the Marantz pulling the music from MC.
But I find it much better to use MC to push music to the Marantz by either selecting the Marantz under Playing Now in MC or using an app on my phone, such as the HEOS app, as a controller to connect to the MC Server and push music to the Marantz. In these situations once the Marantz receives the signal over the network it automatically switches itself to the HEOS input. I even have my Marantz setup to automatically switch itself on if something pushes music to it over the network when it is switched off.

I assume that in the case of a client/server JRiver setup, these settings all apply to the server. That is what I have been trying, but when I attempt to select my Marantz AV7705 from Playing Now on the server, the Associate with DLNA Server has only one entry, greyed out: "Only one server, used by default", so I can't select anything. The DLNA server is set up as additional DLNA server on the "Main Library" server but I don't see anywhere else I can select it. Did I miss a step?

What you say sounds correct.
These settings apply to the server computer.
The message "Only one server, used by default" is what you would see if there was only a single DLNA server defined in MC.
Are you sure you created the extra DLNA server directly in your MC server?
Are there more than one server listed when you look in Tools>Options>Media Network>Add and configure DLNA servers...?
If so that sounds odd, have you tried closing the MC server and restarting it?

First of all, thanks for the reply.
First thing I did was eliminate the client from the equation.
First question: It doesn't appear that JRiver distinguishes between library and server. I have a computer connected to a Marantz AV7705 via HDMI. Under "Playing from", that computer (DESKTOP-Blah) shows as a "library". So what I did was highlight that "library" and go to Tools/Options/Media Network. It was already checked as a DLNA server. It was there that I added the new Audio server. But what I get there is the same thing I get when I uncheck the DLNA box and recheck it, in my case Generic DLNA.
Am I creating the audio server correctly?
thecrow:
Sorry it is not clear to me how your devices are setup/connected.
What you should do is go to the computer that is your MC server, that is the one where all your files are stored, that hosts the library that other devices connect to.
Then simply select Tools>Options>Media Network>Add or Configure DLNA Servers, then you should see a window similar to my attachment.
The top window lists the currently configured DLNA servers and to the right are two buttons "Add" and "Remove", click Add and select "Generic DLNA" this will add another DLNA server to the list, you can then highlight this new server and set the options in the window below to those that you require.
