Why would you expect MC to delete the playlist? The list is an MC playlist, created on MC. And MC tries to push each track one after the other individually to the Renderer. If the Renderer goes offline there is no reason for MC to delete the playlist.

Try right clicking on the Renderer in MC and Disable SetNext support. Also try Ignore Transport Events.

Finally you could try downloading the DMRA from my sig, and posting the Renderer Report here.

I did the Chromecast disconnect only as a quick experiment in response to OP's last post which reports that his playlists were suddenly disappearing.  Since I did not find my playlists disappearing after this disconnect, it may indicate something other than a simple communication loss is going on in OP's system.  I am in fact pleased to see that MC28 preserves playlists upon loss of the renderer and that it also provides informative messages in this scenario.

Thanks for additional suggestions re my JRemote2 behavior.  I have been operating with "Disable SetNext support" selected in MC.  I just added "Ignore Transport Events" and the startup problem disappeared! I'll watch it for the next few days before trying anything else :)  Note:  I do not want to hijack this thread; these sound like good things for OP to try as well.

Yes I can watch the playing now disappear right before my eyes.  All the songs there were played prior and anything left to play
So so frustrating  :(
