I've been battling with this for a couple of weeks now.
Since updating the ipad to the latest firmware I cannot get any DLNA / uPnP app to play more than one track over my network. It used to work fine.
Just to make it clear I'm using a controller app on the ipad (and also a 3gs iphone) which reads the list of music available on a server and the plays the music via a 'renderer' where the sound comes out.
I normally use windows media server but have tried 2 others and had the same result.
The renderer is normally my Onkyo amp but I've tried a DLNA TV and windows media player on a laptop with remote play control enabled as alternate renderers
whether using my preferred app (Kinsky from Linn) or Fusion stream the result is the same..... load tracks into playlist, start the first one playing (which it does)... and that is all it plays. Playlist playback stops after one song. tapping the next song will make it play but again it will not advance.
Apps on my wifes android phone work normally, windows media player can do it using 'play to' on a PC or laptop but the ipad and phone can't any more.
I've even tried creating a simple network with an old router a laptop and the iphone and got the same result.
I've ruled out the server, ruled out the renderer and my home network.
What i can't understand is why google isn't full of similar problems if the fault is built in to the latest operating system on i devices.
Playing server based music actually on the idevice does work but I don't want to listen to tinny little speakers or have to use an audio lead to get sound to the speakers.
what am I missing?
