Sorry for the huge pictures. How do I stop it from being so big? :)

I still don’t see anything useful in the log other than that failed play command.

If you want to keep pursuing this, I need a wireshark trace.
Install wireshark for your PC.
Set a capture filter to only show packets from your rendering device
ip host 1.2.3.4
Change 1.2.3.4 to your renderer IP address.
Start the capture just before you push a track to the renderer and stop it right after the failure.
Save the capture pcap file and email it to
bob (at) jriver (dot) com
Thanks.
capture was sent

Reviewing the pictures again, it does appear that you selected the Buchardt DLNA renderer (as you stated) rather than the Buchardt Chromecast renderer.  While they both appear on the phone, apparently only the active renderer is in the MC server Playing now zones, as Bob described above (since you have not deployed BubbleUPnPServer on PC). 

You may find that Chromecast is limited to 16/24 bits, up to 96 KHz, no gapless if it is constrained by the original Chromecast Audio specs.  Within these limitations, I have confirmed the BubbleUPnPServer over MC is bit perfect playing to original CA dongle.

Ok, we found a solution to the problem!
Turning off the DLNAExtra flag did the trick and now I have a clear path to the stereo hub and everything is working fine.

I didn't know of the option to deploy BubbleUPnPServer on PC. What will it give me? a bypass to the MC and going straight to my HDD fils?
