MM Not Responding to UPNP Control

[kcmeat]

I'm having trouble getting my Android to properly control MM4. I have media sharing in MM4 set up, and I can see and access the shared library on my Android, but whenever the Android program I'm using (I've tried BubbleUPnP, 2player, AndroMote, and a few others) tells MM to play a song, the MM playlist goes blank, and it just sits there. It seems like there is something wrong with MM, because on my Android I can see the shared library, see the album art, and I can even play the shared library files on my phone (local renderer), but MM just won't play a song when my Android sends the command to do so (when I use MediaMonkey renderer).

Using AndroMote (Android app), I can turn on remote only mode, and if I already have a playlist loaded in MM, the Android AndroMote controls (play, pause, next) will work with MM; however, I want the ability to select playlists or specific tracks, and the second I try to do that, MM erases the playlist and does nothing. Prior to the MM4 update that came out most recently, BubbleUPnP was working fine at controlling MM, so I don't know what happened between then and now.

Maybe a debug log (step 4b) shows why (send to support): http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=69

Do make sure that control of MM is allowed under Tools > Options > Media Sharing.

Yes, the box is checked to allow control of MM via UPnP. I sent my problem to tech support with debug log attached, as requested. Hopefully it sheds some light on the problem, b/c these new wireless headphones would be even better if I could get MM to behave itself.

Well, I've tried installing into a different directory, and that didn't help. I also tried uninstalling MM, deleting the "AppData\Local" and "AppData\Roaming" folders, removing any traces of MM from my registry, rebooting, and doing an entirely fresh install, and that still hasn't helped. Every time I try and send a play command to MM, the debug is showing:

"UPnP: !!! EXCEPTION WHILE CONTROLLING MEDIA RENDERER: Access violation at address 03723D77 in module 'UpNp.dll'. Read of address 00000008"

Support is working on it, but can't seem to replicate my issue. Anybody have any helpful input?

I'm having this same exact problem.

I'm a total novice to all this, but tried the UPNP Control / DNLA stuff today. I found that I could not control MM with BubbleUPnP, but I could with UPnPlay.
My only comments to date are what an awesome feature!
Probably can't help anymore, but worth trying UPnPlay in case it works for you

I've tried BubbleUPnP, 2player, UPnPlay, and AndroMote. They all have the exact same problem, and BubbleUPnP used to work until just recently.

Hi, there really was a problem, this will be fixed as http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=9005 in the next 4.0.3 build.

Awesome! I can't wait for 4.0.3 now.

Just installed 4.0.3 and it's working again! \m/
