I have a Jellyfin server where I store my music collection, and when I connect via DLNA it doesn’t load more than 840 songs, even though I have around 2000. Some albums are incomplete, and some artists don’t show up at all. Is there any solution for this? It would be great if there were a specific Jellyfin connection like the one Plex has.
 
Using legacy or advanced mode?

To switch between the two, select your Jellyfin instance from Home Music Share, then click the vertical ellipsis in the top right hand corner of the screen.
 
Just to help out with where to find the ellipsis:

Y tried the two modes. In advanced only find 840 songs and in legacy for example aren't all albums o all artist. I'm using android.

I'm unsure about the meaning of this.
Is it still not showing all your albums, artists etc.? Even in legacy mode?

Could you try using some other endpoint or controller (e.g. BubbleUPnP) and check what that can see?

What version of Jellyfin are you using as there have been a lot of issues with 10.11.?

Were you using the WiiM Home app prior to the 10.11 upgrade, and if so, were you experiencing similar issues?

The jellyfin server is 10.11.5

In the server log i show this:

[INF] [12] Jellyfin.Plugin.Dlna.Main.DlnaHost: DLNA Session created for "LG SKXXXXXX" - "LG Music Flow" using profile "LG Smart TV"
[INF] [12] Jellyfin.Plugin.Dlna.DlnaManager: No matching device profile found. The default will need to be used.

In the server log i show this:
This looks like Jellyfin is NOT a UPnP server but a casting software.
I‘m actually puzzled that WHA can see any of it at all.
Get a real UPNP server.

Jellyfin does include a dlna server which you should be able to browse in the WHA

@ferdinandpc I had a similar issue with emby, from which jellyfin is forked. I raised a ticket from the wiim home app (click More > Feedback and Tickets) and they sorted it.

Then he‘s not using it correctly. A UPnP server is not dependant on knowing details of the renderers. But this what his log says.

The portion of his jellyfin log he quoted is irrelevant to his issue. You can add profiles to upnp servers that will adjust behaviour depending on what render it connects to. Well you can in Asset and Emby anyway and therefore I suspect jellyfin too.
I think the issue is probably with wiim as it was with my Emby server. And if it is, it can be fixed :)

I only know such profiles in combination with casting via the UPnP protocol.
But WiiM seems to be willing to solve even the most ‚individual‘ (not to say obscure) problems.

Can you install the WiiM Home app on another device?
All control points are typically sent the same content so it shouldn't be possible for one to be missing artists/albums. I'm wondering if this could be related to caching.
