Connection Flaky, 5.1 sent as stero

[Scottes]

I have a new Denon AVR-2100W AV receiver and I'm trying to get my 5.1 FLACs to play on it. I've set up MM as a DLNA server, and it is rarely seen by the Denon in the list of media servers it find. I've set up Serviio and it is almost always visible on the Denon's list, but I'd rather use MM for many reason (particularly my auto-playlists, but I like MM!)

Serviio is almost always visible to the Denon (95%) and MM is rarely visible (10%) so I'm thinking it's an issue with MM.

Also, with both DLNA server, the music always show up on the Denon as stereo PCM. How can I get MM to send in 6-channel?

Thanks!

Hi,
Are you sure that Timeout on Denon do not end before MMW responds Try to use more common UPnP port in MMW.

My guess is that FLAC 5.1 get downgraded by denon I've seen such issues have you tried to contact Denon ?

No, I'm not sure about the timeout but I'll sniff the network to see what is actually happening. There's no way to set this option in the Denon.

Originally I was using whatever port MM had configured. I've just switched it to port 1900.

The Denon says it's receiving PCM, which I've been told is only able to handle 2 channels of uncompressed audio. The Denon reports what's it's receiving so this seems to be what MM is sending. Though I'm not positive. A network sniff may show more details.
