Some of my audio club member have LINN DS. So do I.
We dont use remote application. We use uPnP player liks PlugPlayer or Kinsky desktop as uPnP controller.
Not for a player, only for controller.
Media server is running using jriver MC.
When DLNA server is MC15, we can browse and explore media library in a very fast manner.
But when DLNA server is MC16 or MC17, library browing speed in PlugPlayer or in Kinsky desktop slow down, for example, if there are 300 albums in a folder, we have to wait tens of second until list of albums are completely shown up with album art on that controller App window. At this time the CPU utilization of the media server is over 50%.
As a result, we want to use MC15 as a DLNA server instead of nice featured MC17.
We need just DLNA server feature only. MC is perfect for DLNA server.
We have tested MC17's DLNA server feature several times, but we dont have satisfied result.
Can you tell us what "Something may be set wrong" can be?
Which setting items may cause browsing speed down?
In our experience there is no significant setting item affecting browsing speed.
Maybe album art? MC15 has no problem with album art.
For this reason, we should use MC15 as a DLNA server for a while.
But jriver does not sell MC15.
So, the thing we hope to jriver team is when we perchase MC17 or brand new version of MC in the future, jriver would give us the MC15 license registration key if possible.
I hope our situation make sense to jriver team.
Thank you!
