Songs stuck in loop: DLNA or Marantz/HEOS app issue?

[make-nz]

When I start playing an album songs get stuck in loop.
Song 1 on list will repeat till I press skip, then song 2 will repeat till I press skip…

This is from the reports:

This is from a 2 CD Box set with 15 songs per CD

Same with any other CD from my lib

Logs show lots of playback tracker lines on

Edit: truncated .PlaybackReporting.Event output here, as unrelated

Those log lines are from the playback reporting plugin, not dlna plugin.
Does your player in whatever youre playing with have this icon?

I'm not able to reproduce this when i browser to an album and play or when i use play to a dlna device, it will play the whole album

I just send this from the browser, to my Marantz which is in another room, but has speakers in this room.
(Only updated the server a view days ago and never had this before)

I'd say try jf server 10.10.1 with v5 of the plugin if you have the capabilities. If you came from JF server 10.8 like i did the move to the dlna plugin made a few things not work as expected. v4 has some things to improve ssdp and v5 has some changes in the relative url that might help with the device youre using. im able to play an album to my lg tv and it will advance to the next track.

Well should hav waited a few days…

10.10.1
05 Nov 2024 20:20:39 multimedia/jellyfin: update to 10.10.1

One thing… I went to v3 manualy now, but I do not have any control over repeat, it's grayed out:

That player is part of jf server, looks like they might be doing some changes to that as on 10.10 i dont see any of the controls anymore except the shuffle

[make-nz]

Found the issue, but am unsure what to think of it!?
If one uses the HEOS app and sets a repeat on a song, while played via JF DLNA the repeat stays on for days!

Shouldn't DLNA start a new session and reset the repeat??
Is this by design?

You have to use remote control:

interesting, yeah i think there may have been some server changes around the sessionstate that need to be built into the dlna plugin to have that enabled. in the jf android app the repeat is dithered as well so it looks like the server recognizes that the plugin might not have that capability.

I think i might have found a similar scenario to this that is reproducible for me to play with. on the android app i set the play to device to be a dlna renderer(in my case macast), i then stop playback by playing tracks on another app. i later noticed that my last.fm scrobbles had the same track scrobbled over and over and over. i had to kill the jf android app to make it stop. i suspect that there is something in the dlna plugin not reporting back to the playing client to stop the playback and the android app is repeatedly doing ...something... making it seem like the track is still playing.

@make-nz do you happen to have entries like this in your jf server logs as well?

i dont have time at the moment to dig into what i was able to reproduce to see what isnt reporting back to make the app stop acting like its playing but i'll see if i can soon
