Hello...
I've been trying to see if MediaMonkey can indeed solve a few home music needs to replace deprecated hardware and software. So far, MM has been doing great as a desktop replacement for WinAmp, but when I saw that you could use MediaMonkey as a server and stream to MediaMonkey for Android, I realized it could also be a potential replacement for my beloved (but aging out) Squeezebox units.
Here's the problem I'm having. I recently upgraded to lifetime gold for MM on my Windows 10 machine, and got MediaMonkeyPro for my android device. After a bit of fiddling, I can use WiFi to sync my stored playlists between the phone and the PC which is great for when I'm out running around. But when I'm home, rather than play from my local playlists, I thought I could just bring up the MM server on the PC, and then stream directly over the local WLAN from there to a BT or similar. I connect, I pull up the playlist and enqueue it, and it starts to play, and will play one or two songs in the queue and then just gives up. I wondered if maybe I was getting some connection notification window on my PC but no such thing. Nothing in settings indicates what might be causing this dropout to occur.
