I believe the discussion centered along MM using the VMWare connection instead of local network, but I'm not certain. Disabling/turning VMWare should resolve that though (no uninstall needed).
In the Media Server settings you do have the option to choose IP to be used by the Media Server. I haven't use VMWare so I don't know exactly how it operates.
I went into the options in MediaMonkey and noticed that it had assigned the wrong IP address to the Media Server - it had chosen one for VMnet1, which is one of the extra networks VMware creates for itself. I then assigned the correct IP, on my wired ethernet connection, and tried playing local music to Kodi - nothing. I then disabled the adaptors for VMnet1 and VMnet8 and it works! Since I don't use VMnet1 or VMnet8 this is not too much of a problem. However, MediaMonkey should be able to differentiate between networks since it is trying to play to a network device that is accessible via only one of the network adapters.
I have discovered an application called Mezzmo that works OK with VMware without any fiddling. I would prefer to use MediaMoney though as I prefer the UI. I am prepared to buy the gold version of MediaMonkey if this can be fixed.
