Title: Lost DLNA server association
Post by: ThierryNK on March 21, 2015, 08:09:30 am

Hi everybody

I have 2 DLNA servers on JRiver, one that converts DSD to PCM, and the other one that uses DoPE.

I have used and tested a lot of renderers, and I associate each one of them with the right DLNA server.

For the first time, I am using a renderer for which the DLNA server association is "lost" after each switch off of the renderer.

Any idea? Either on JRiver side or on this DNLA renderer side?

Kind regards

Hi

No one has a clue of what could be wrong on the renderer?

Best regards

Salut Thierry  :)

Not a lot of information to go on. Not sure what you mean when you say you "associate each one of them with the right DLNA renderer"

Maybe a screenshot of the DLNA config screen ?

Does this device work, but then just not show up?

Bonjour  8)

As said before, I have 2 DLNA servers running. Let us say Server 1 and Server 2.

According to the capabilities of the renderers that I review or use, I associate each renderer to Server 1 or Server 2: right click on the renderer, associate with DLNA server… Server 1 or Server 2.

Till now, no issue at all. After a restart, either of JRiver, or the renderers, the association of each renderer with Server 1 or Server 2 is "kept" by JRiver.

With one new renderer (Trinnov Amethyst to be precise), I associate it with Server 2. If I restart JRiver, no issue, the association with Server 2 is kept. If I restart the Trinnov Amethyst, the association with Server 2 is "lost", I mean there is no more association with any Server, and the Server 1 being apparently the default Server, I am obliged to do the association again (right click, etc.)

Kind regards

oh I get it now ... Sorry in that case really don't know. I always have one "named" server per renderer, not multiple devices associated with the same device name (except for the generic dlna setting).

Someone else want to chime in?  (au moins je te fais un "bump" amicale ;) )

It sounds like that particular renderer is identifying itself differently at each startup.  These devices broadcast a unique identifier (UUID) that Media Center uses to maintain server associations.  If this device uses a different UUID each time it's powered up, MC won't be able to maintain it's association.  You could use a program like "Device Spy" to verify if this is the case.
