Playlist Glitch - "Last Played" parameter only in DLNA
johnkaess:
MC 27, 28, and 29 all play without any issues for ALL playlists including those with the "Last Played" parameter.
MC 30, 31, and 32 all do NOT exhibit the problem of playing one song repeatedly for any playlist containing the "Last Played" parameter whil playing flawlessly all other playlists.
I'm not sure what changed or why this problem showed up in MC30 and onwards, but i am going to look at all my DLNA settings to see if i notice anything.
Meanwhile, i'm punting this back to Jimh and Matt now that I've confirmed when the issue arose (MC30) and what specifically is causing some playlists to hang and repeat the same song (the "Last Played" parameter).
johnkaess:
Checked the settings in MC29 which works and MC30 which does not work:
Options/Audio and Options/Media Network and Options/Media Network/Configure DLNA all appear to be the same in both versions.

In your case then, MC is just providing a list of files and the Onkyo is the controller and is responsible for the calling for the next file from MC when it needs it.
What are the file formats in the playlist?
johnkaess:
The file types in my playlists are almost all apple lossless with a few mp3's.
The file type is irrelevant to the issue. I can construct a playlist of any typoe of file you'd like and it plays without any problem until the "Last Played is not in the past X weeks" is added to the playlist criteria. This is the critical issue, and it does not occur in any MC version prior to MC30. The issue is not with my Stereo. If it was, then it would exist in all versions of MC instead of just the versions from MC30 forward.
I have over 21000 songs in my library and around 100 playlists. Every playlist works until i insert the "Last Played" is not since X weeks parameter. If the problem was file type then it would show up in every playlist.
The issue ONLY involves SMARTLISTS, and then ONLY if it has the "Last Played" criteria, and only in MC 30 and later. Non-Smartlist playlists and Smarliists without the "Last Played" Criteria ALL play without any problems at all.
Matt:
Please test these two builds and let us know if you see a difference:
