When MC reports that it is playing for five seconds, but no sound is played at the Renderer, then DLNA is actually working and MC has just reported the first chunk of data it has sent to the Renderer, before it either gets no response or gets a bad response from the Renderer.

Your Renderer is the Sonore microRendu (https://www.sonore.us/microRendu.html), right? Search the forum for "microRendu" and you will see quite a few threads about the device. The answer may be in there.

Otherwise you need to provide a lot more information about how you have set up the microRendu, the DLNA Server in MC, the tracks you are trying to play, formats, etc.

Yes, microRendu.

I've been using this setup for months without issue. 

However, microRendu was unplugged, lost power.  This is where problems started.

I tried reboot of all devices (microRendu, Auralic dac, modem, router, pc)  No fix.

Uninstalled MC25 and went back to MC24.  no fix.

Removed Media Network key and tried a new key.

Tried a bunch of other stuff after reading these forums, cant remember all.....

I am stuck and super frustrated.

Tried Roon, and MC 24 Media Network recognizes, as does microRendu.

p.s Roon sounds like nuts compared to MC!

Please help me get back up and running.

It seems like it is a microRendu problem then. Did it get an update or something? Lost settings? You may need to ask Sonore.

Test if MC will play to another DLNA Renderer okay, such as the free version of BubbleUPnP on an Android phone.

micoRendu works with Roon.

I don't see how it is a Sonore, microRendu issue???

You see the microRendu in MC right? If so then right click on it and “Disable SetNext”..

I tried checking "disable setnext".  Tracks still stall after a few seconds.

Another weird issue, under Playing Now, Sonicorbiter is listed, while before my problems started, microRednu was listed...?

When you say the tracks stall, do you actually hear any sound at all in the first five seconds?

Does it appear in Roon and other DLNA Controllers or Renderers as Sonicorbiter as well? If so, as I suggested, that sounds like a microRendu issue. Even if it does work with Roon.

It is worth toggling the other DLNA Controller settings as well to see if they make any difference.

Also check your MC DLNA server settings, perhaps you are trying to send it a format that it can't handle.

Over the course of several days, and multiple Microrendu reboots, system is up and running.

I wish I knew what the correct Microrendureboot sequence is for future reference.....

Good find! Renders can get stuck in weird states. Reboots are always something to try with them when things go South.
