Certain DLNA containers no longer working

Hi,
Pure Evoke C-F6 is the client. I previously had it all working fine with a profile I created.
However at some point it has stopped working. Unfortunately I can’t recall when, and whether it was a Plex or a Radio software update.

I’ve included a log below, but basically most tracks will now either completely fail to start or play the first split second. There’s only a few that will play fully. Having a look at the files it seems:

  • AAC M4A - Works (e.g. Andrea Bocelli Con te partiro & Don McLean American Pie in the log)

  • Apple Lossless M4A - Fails (e.g. Abba Dancing Queen in the log)

  • MP3 - Fails (e.g. Rachel Platten Stand By You in the log).

DLNA Profile hasn’t been changed from the one I put in the Working DLNA Profiles thread a year ago:

	</DirectPlayProfiles>
</Client>

Here’s a log from a fresh boot and trying several songs with limited success:

Plex DLNA Server.log (233.3 KB)

Still can’t get this to work.
Tried changing the TranscodeTarget to mp4 aac (since that’s the only one currently working for DirectPlay), but that didn’t work either.
Think I might need to temporarily abandon Plex for DLNA and just use the integrated DLNA feature of ReadyNAS for now.
