Hello,
in the recent days, I have tried to use MC as DLNA/UPnP server, driving it with a DLNA app on Android, this due to some lacks in Gizmo.
So, I have selected MC as library server, and my music player (Naim Uniti) as UPnP renderer. Adding an album in the playlist, and starting the playlist, works well.
The issues come when the current track is changing: the remote app still displays the name of the first track (but with the (rigtht) duration of the second track), while my Uniti displays the correct (new) track name.
Then the behaviour varies, from time to time: sometimes, each track is played twice, with one track name late the first time, and the right one being displayed the second time. Sometimes, the music stops after 2 or 3 tracks, and I have to tap on "play" again.
And sometimes all works well, I have been unable to understand what makes the circumstances different.
I first thought that my Android app was sucking, but I have tried really a lot (30, maybe), still experiencing the same issue, and I am starting to think that the culprit could be MC itself.
Maybe the server "forgets" to send a signal to the app when the current track changes, or send it to late?
This does not appear with Android Gizmo, no with Android EOS, I suppose because they drive MC through MCWS.
This also happens when using MC as DLNA renderer (in this case, using the optical output of the PC toward my Uniti).
Any idea ?
I am currently using the version MC17. Is that a known issue that could have been solved in MC 20 ?
Many thanks in advance for any hint.
