Random disconnects from DLNA server / Renderer - How to troubleshoot? [Solved}
blgentry:
An HDMI connection to your receiver would be far more reliable and straight forward.
If that's not possible for some reason, you might consider the network pathing. Wireless in particular can be a problem in some cases. My AV rack has a wired drop to it and has a small 1G ethernet switch in the rack for all of the equipment. It was having occasional issues when it was wireless. Now it's rock solid.
There are several DLNA server parameters that you can set in MC. I know very little about it. I'm just letting you know they are there. If you right click on the DNLA device on the left side of MC, you'll get a menu and you can set a few parameters there.
Best of luck.

Thanks for the suggestions. I do have an HDMI connection to the receiver and I use that when I want an extended playlist to play without issues whether it encounters Multi-channel or other things that the DLNA on the Yamaha cannot handle.
However JRiver converts everything to PCM when going through HDMI and I have discovered that my Receiver is a very capable DAC (Via WiFi only) which will play native DSD files and I have quite enjoyed the audio quality difference.
The HDMI connection is very good and works well. But I do find there is something I enjoy more with the pure DSD file playback. it seems to present a better wider sound stage with more distinct instrument detail to my ears.
I am able to do this without issue with other apps from my iPhone / iPad and other apps such as VLC or Foobar2000 on my PC. But JRiver which of course is and has been my favourite music playing app for more than a decade now is the only one that has an issue with this.
I don't use wireless except in the case of doing something from my iPhone or iPad. (Also my Sony TV & Sony Blu-Ray Player since they were too cheap to put a Gigabit connection on it and instead only included a 10 / 100 port. Because of this the 5G connection is actually faster and more reliable on those devices. I don't use them for network connection very often in any case as the Apps are poorly done and my NVidia Shield blows them away in every respect).

Ok so I was finally near the computer when my playlist stopped playing and created a log file (Attched)
This was slighty different in that the Zone changed to "Player" from the "LRoom (RX-A2A)" but when I went back to the "LRoom (RX-A2A)" at least the playlist hadn't been wiped like it normally has in the past.
I was playing off of a Play Doctor Play list with no CLoudPlay songs allowed.
The player just stopped and switched Zones to "Player". I suspect that the "LRoom (RX-A2A)" probably disappeared from the "Playing Now" list as it has in the past but it had already returned by the time I checked so I can't be sure about that.
Hopefully the Log attached can tell someone something?
Also I wonder if this thread should be moved to the "JRiver Media Center 31 for Windows" since I am on that now?
Thanks.
Carl

Did it again after about 15 songs.
New log attached.
At least it doesn't seem to be wiping the playlist anymore.

Have those logs given anyone a clue behind the disconnects by chance?
