Playlist Glitch - "Last Played" parameter only in DLNA

Matt:
I'm wondering if the playlist is simply not resolving to many files for some reason.

If you hit "Next" does it advance to another track?

Can you look at what's in the playing now list on the device?

Thanks.

After it plays the first song, it just repeats it. Hitting next does not do anything.

Playing now in JRiver does not show anything that the DLNA server is sending to the stereo.
The Stereo shows the current song playing once it starts. I can hit the back key to go back out and choose another playlist, but the playlist with the "Last Played" parameter will not go forward or rewind or skip tom next track once it starts playing. It acts as if the DLNA send the first song, but then can no longer access that playlist with the "Last Played" parameter, but if i back out and choose a different playlist without the "Last Played" paramenter in it, everything works as it should.

I should point out that this was not a problem until a year or so ago. I can't r3emember which version, I've had JRiver for many years and my playlists all worked fine until 1 or 2 years ago. I did not realize until a few weeks ago that the cause was the "Last Played" parameter. I just assumed that DLNA no loinger worked and i quit using it until my wife had a party and wanted music from the stereo, so i set about trying to solve the problem and discovered that "Last Played" was the cause.

Matt:
So it seems like the playlist is only resolving to one track for some reason.

You could browse the same playlists with Panel and see if you get all the files showing.

Do you have another DLNA device you could test with?

Thanks.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. When i select one of the problematic playlists from my stereo, i can scroll down through the playlist to select a song to start playing, which then just repeats.

All of the playlists with this problem play perfectly directly in JRiver Media Center on my iMac.

Unfortunately, my stereo is the only DLNA device i have. Playing to another device would be a good troubleshooting step.
