DLNA Puzzle

[Dennis from Venice]

I have JRiver Media Center with the Ultra as a DLNA endpoint. Although it works fine initially, if I leave MC idling in memory, it eventually hangs. I have tried this on a Raspberry Pi, a Windows 11 PC, and three Macs (Intel and Apple silicon).

It only hangs on the Macs. I took one of the Macs and changed the sound output to the Mac speakers instead of the Ultra and Media Center doesn't hang. If I use the Wiim as a Roon endpoint (not DLNA), it works fine with the Macs

So it appears something with the Mac Sequoia operating system and or the JRiver software is amiss. Or possibly the WiiM DLNA implementation?

Any suggestions on debugging? I have been back and forth with JRiver tech support and they are coming up blank so far.

Have you raised a ticket with WiiM when this happens?

Can you try it with another DLNA renderer, even a TV? That might point to whether is a Wiim problem or a more generic problem.

As you say, I do not see this problem with Media Center on Windows.

No

Going to be hard then for them to help identify a solution

I'm not sure if it is WiiM, JRiver, Network/DLNA, or the Mac.

In my experience, it’s best firing on all cylinders - it might not be a WiiM issue, but then again there might be something in its device log that WiiM can spot or give advice on.
