Media Networking problem with PSA PWD DAC

<< < (2/3) > >>

johnjen:
So MC went into the 5 sec loop.
I switch the PWD from the network input to USB.

I power cycle the DAC.

MC pops up with the DLNA error (as listed above).

I click 'OK' and the MC starts playing the first track of the album.

johnjen,
Please report details without the sarcasm.  "happy dance", for example.  "oldie but goodie", for another.  It doesn't help and it makes the posts harder to read.

You'll need to identify more clearly where the problems lie.  Is it only DLNA, for example?  If so, are you controlling from the DAC or from MC?  Are you using a separate controller. 

Make sure to report your setup when you report a problem.  It's not clear how you're starting playback.

Or is there a ‘preferred’ version?

As for always keeping up with the current (as best) OS, it's been my experience that those days are long past.  And it doesn't matter what the OS is (Mac Win etc.) I always wait until the OS 'matures' a bit.

So given that, I can run 7.x or 8.x, but will stay clear of 9.x for some time yet.

ps Mr Murphy is doing his thing…  No 5-sec-Happy-dance yet.

If you don't want to go to Mavericks yet, I would suggest Mountain Lion which is currently at 10.8.5 I believe.  Mountain Lion has been out since July of 2012 and is very stable.  Snow Leopard is probably nearing end of life for Apple support, since it came out in mid 2009.

A dialog box popped up, which said;
"There was a problem controlling the selected DLNA device.  Double check your device, server, and network settings."  And there are the usual accept (OK), ignore (cancel) buttons.

There should be just an OK button on this prompt.

Did it play fine after this event?  What we want to do is simply power cycle the DAC after one of these episodes, and see if that fixes the problem. Don't switch from Ethernet to USB, leave it connected the same way, just power cycle it.  MC probably popped a DLNA error because of switching the device from one to another.

If simply power cycling the DAC makes the problem go away, then my suspicion is that there's a firmware bug on the DAC.  What do you hear from PS Audio support?

Let's just keep on this particular problem (plays 5 seconds, then restarts at beginning) before moving on to other issues you may be experiencing.
