Playlist Glitch - "Last Played" parameter only in DLNA

You might scour the settings for the device and see if you can find anything. Maybe updating the device as well.
You said old MC builds worked differently, so you could go back builds and see if you can find the build where it changed.
Thanks.

The Onkyo Stereo Receiver is updated to the latesat version which has not changed in a few years.
I'm willing to install old versions of Media Center to see if i can determine what version broke this ability for DLNA. Can you give me a link back to final versions from 27 and later? I don't see them available from the Forums.

See "Old Versions" on the wiki.

Make sure the play control (the repeat to the right of the time slider) is not set to "Stop after each item". This is ZONE specific. Each zone (local, DLNA, etc) has it's own control.
If it still doesn't work:
Turn on logging and try to play a playlist. Attach the log here.
The logic for DLNA playback is pretty extensively logged.

Bob, Thank you for finally jumping in. I do not have a zone set up for DLNA. It has never needed one since everything i do for DLNA originates from my Onkyo Stereo and NOT from within JRiver. I do have 2 zones set up for playback originating in JRiver to output to my DAC and to my Homepods via Airplay.
I have posted my DLNA settings in earlier posts. I do NOTHING in JRiver Media Center when playing playlists to my Stereo. JRiver simply acts as the music server. On my Stereo, I select "Music Server" from the Sources, i then select "JRiver DLNA" as the music server, it then displays all the options which show up in the sidebar under the "Audio" category (Album, Artists, Playlists, etc), and i select Playlists, and then choose a playlist to play directly from my Stereo. I do not do ANYTHING in JRiver. It just needs to be running. The problem i'm experiencing with the playlists ONLY occurs on Playlists with the parameter of "Last Played". ALL my playlists without this parameter in the smartplaylist criteria function without any issue, and all non-smartlist playlists function without issue.
I'd appreciate suggestions on what i should try given this issue. I am currently going to try some earlier versions as this problem did not exist several years ago.
If you tell me how to enable logging of the DLNA, i'll do that and post the log.

THE PROBLEM DOES NOT EXIST IN MC28 which i just downloaded and installed and restored playlists and files from backup, but did NOT restore setrtings.
I am going to move forward to newer versions one release at a time until the problem recurs, and then will look at all the DLNA settings in JRiver, but i am confident that i can say definitively that whatever the problem is, it is in JRiver Media Center and NOT in the stereo which is acting to receive the music files from the JRiver DLNA server.
