I use MC for music via DLNA to a PS Audio Perfectwave DAC with Bridge ll. I upgraded to MC 22 (220009 which seemed to go ok but when I attempt to play something, it doesn't work. MC does correctly show the track list under Bridge ll but when a track starts playing the tracks keep skipping to the next track after a second or two There is no sound at the DAC. Also my IPOD won't connect. I have no idea what's wrong as I don't believe I changed anything from MC 21. Meantime I went back to MC 21 (210090) and everything again works perfectly. Should I just uninstall MC22 and try again in case something got corrupted?
I hope someone can shed some light. Thanks.

Check the settings on MC21 and make sure they are the same on MC22.
It's probably not a problem with a corrupt installation.
-
Thanks. However, everything looks the same to me in the "Media Center" and I don't know where else to look to find a setting that might cause my problems. I'm sure no expert and not at all technical so I hope someone can suggest where I should check.

Settings for the DLNA Server are under Options > Media Network > Add or configure DLNA Servers

Sorry, I meant to say "Media Network" in my previous post.

Jim, I checked Media Network settings and other settings as well. Everything looks the same and I don't know what else to try.
I've been a happy user of JRiver and want to keep up to date. Will my license allow me to uninstall 22 and reinstall it to see if that will fix?
Thank you
-
Right click on the PS Audio DAC and enable the following two commands: Disable SetNext Support & Ignore Transport Events. Hopefully this will fix you up. Please let us know.

Hi amsco15. Thanks. I tried Rel. 22 with those commands both checked and unchecked. Unfortunately, it makes no difference. It still doesn't work.
I believe you also use Bridge ll. Did your upgrade to 22 go ok? Do you use JRemote?
-
I do own and use the Bridge II along with JRemote. I did buy the license but haven't upgraded to MC22 yet. Everything currently works perfectly in MC 21. Waiting for a version of MC 22 to be declared stable before I install it. Did you download the Whitebear DMR Analyser? The program helped me a lot when I first installed Bridge II. I follow every setting recommended by Whitebear and add Disable Transport Events (even though the Whitebear DMR Analyser says my renderer supports it). If I don't Disable Transport Events, songs skip when changing sample rates for files types (i.e. FLAC to DSD).
-
I'm thinking now that I should have been that smart! I think I'll uninstall MC22 and continue to use MC21 for a while yet. I also followed the Whitebear Analyser when I had skipping problems. One curious thing, when I was looking over my MC21 version today, I decided to uncheck those DLNA Controller options just to test again how files play. I don't have DSD files but MC21 has been playing mixed FLAC files of all sample rates for several hours now with no skips and I hope it continues. That surprised me and I'm wondering if the recent Bridge ll firmware update had anything to do with that.
-
FYI, I loaded MC 22.0.12 today. Everything so far works exactly as expected. I even enable the "load files to memory at start of playback" option. Everything works great. Please note that I have not updated the Bridge II software to the Roon enabled version. I am running Toreys on my DS.
-
That's encouraging. Thnx. Since I have the PWD there must be some technical difference and maybe it has to do with that latest bridge ll firmware. At some point I'll try and create a log file which captures the problem and then see if someone at JRiver can help.

There's a method that involves a Windows machine that allows you to roll the Bridge II software back. Go over to the PS Audio site and look it up. You can also e-mail Dennis at PS Audio. I would give that a try!
