If you do find that a particular version of MC acts differently from the current one in regards to the issue you have with PP and elyric would you let us know? I too think it might be a change in PP that you are seeing but it's possible that it's MC. The only changes in control point functionality recently that I can recall had to so with sorting and searching.
Bob,
Could it have something to do with this hypothesis by Ambramsh @ PP?
"It appears to be a bug in jriver; and only when playing from jriver to jriver.
PlugPlayer sends it one URL to play, and when PlugPlayer comes back from sleep it checks back with the renderer and even though it's the same song playing jriver reports back a different URL. I'll contact them and see if they can fix it or tell us a way to fix it on our end."
Just to reiterate, the issue is a new development. In the past J River was always able to serve to itself.
Nor it is exclusive to PP Control Point. It also now does this with eLyric.
Thanks!!! I am excited to start using MC at home again. Been slumming it with Foobar and Remote.
Cheers,
Patrick
