Streaming (DLNA) to Onkyo TX-NR696

Post by AlBundy001 »

Hello MM team,

I have no idea if this has anything to do with MM5 or my AVR (see topic):

I can stream music to my AVR but have a strange behavior: When a track ends the next track starts playing... for about 7-8 seconds. Then it just stops and automatically skips to the next track which plays complete without problems. Then the followoing track plays again for just ~7 seconds and the game continues.

This does not happen when streaming to Nvidia shield - so far it happens only with my AVR.

Any idea if this could be caused by MM5 or by Onkyo AVR?

Not a big deal - but would be interesting what could be the reason. Wondering if anyone can reproduce this.

PS: My Onkyo has latest firmware installed.

Please try with the latest build 5.0.2.2526 : viewtopic.php?f=6&t=86639&sd=d

And if the issue still happens then please generate debug log and attach to eSupport ticket (see item 4b here: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=86643 )

Until today I have been using 5.0.2.2523 - just upated to 5.0.2.2526. Does not make any difference.

This pattern still occurs:

I start playing the whole album:

- Starting track #1 - OK (plays full length)
- track #2 starts for 8 seconds - then skips to #3
- track #3 - OK (plays full length)
- track #4 starts for 8 seconds - then skips to #5
-track #5 - OK (plays full length)
- ....

And so on...

As said - this only happens with my Onkyo. NVidia shield is OK.
I'm just wondering what may be the root cause.

Thanks for your input/ideas. :)

Please capture this in a debug log (step 4b) and attach the log to a Support Ticket: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=86643

This will help a developer analyze why this happens in your setup.

Just made some additional tests:
After each track my Onkyo says "connecting..." while waiting for the next track. This lasts for about 2-3 seconds. When watching the MM5 GUI while playing teh album it seems that this time is too long and MM5 becomes "impatient" and skips to the next track. I just had the experience that even 2 tracks are skipped by MM5.

As already said: I suspect that my Onkyo/PC is the problem. The DLNA reconnect after each track takes too long.
The gap between tracks to NVidia shield is only under one second so everything is OK. No tracks are skipped.
Question is: Why is MM5 not waiting long enough? Are there any options to configure this? I found nothing about this.
