Will your suggestion about ‘set next’ address this?
The answer to that is: Maybe
It depends on whether Bose is actually using DLNA, and if so, whether it is a well behaved DLNA Renderer. Bose doesn't say much about DLNA with respect to their Lifestyle 650 system. In fact, DLNA isn't even mentioned in the User Manual. The closest they get is referring to your Music Library.
From the User Manual:
• If the preset source is your music library, make sure the computer storing your music library is on and connected to the same network as the SoundTouch® console.
There is a tiny bit more information on their support site:
Please note: SoundTouch systems are not fully DLNA compliant and may or may not have full functionality with other models.
Ref:
https://www.bose.com/en_us/support/article/using-a-nas-drive.htmlSo it seems very unlikely that the Bose Lifestyle 650 system is a well behaved DLNA Renderer.
In which case, disabling the "SetNext" function may fix the problem.
Or you may need to set "Ignore Transport Events" to fix it.
Both, or one or the other. Or even one or more of the other two settings in that group.
If you are up to it, and you have a Windows PC on your network, you could try running AndrewFG's
Digital Media Renderer Analyser to analyse what functions the Lifestyle 650 system supports. Or you can just try the various settings until playback works.
Note:
The Wi-Fi signal to JRemote doesn't matter. JRemote is acting as a DLNA Controller, and once it has told the DLNA Server (JRiver MC) to play a list of files on a specific DLNA Renderer (the Lifestyle 650 system), then it isn't really involved anymore. Audio is streamed from the DLNA Server to the DLNA Renderer. Unless, of course, the DLNA Controller is used to control the devices again, and change what they should be doing.
Once you start music on the Lifestyle 650 system, you should look at Playing Now in MC. If you told MC to play a full Playlist or Album, then all the associated tracks should be listed in Playing Now. If that has happened, JRemote has done its job.
BTW, did this used to work correctly, and now just stopped working? Or is this a new setup?
Also, you may be able to find more help on the Bose Community pages:
https://community.bose.com/t5/English/ct-p/enThis doesn't look promising though:
https://community.bose.com/t5/SoundTouch-Speakers/DLNA-Support/m-p/211164#M78830Oh. Here is your exact problem. It is a known Bose issue:
https://community.bose.com/t5/SoundTouch-Archive/Does-not-continue-to-the-next-song-automatically-by-DLNA/td-p/111296That sounds like the "Ignore Get Position Failure"
might fix your issue. But it is the broken or incomplete Bose DLNA implementation that is the problem.
There is hope though, as it appears that
mConnect 3.0.0 does work with SoundTouch, so there must be a combination of DLNA settings that work. Try those mentioned above.
Finally, make sure you have associated a DLNA Server with the Lifestyle 650 system DLNA Renderer, and that the DLNA settings for that server in MC are configured correctly. If you only have one DLNA Server in MC, then this step isn't necessary. But if you have two or more it is. You will find the association settings in the same right-click menu Brian mentioned.
