Player Version#: 4.108.0
I have a quite old Yamaha RX-V2700 that should support streaming over the network. The manual states this is possible from a Yamaha MCX-2000 and WMC. Internet searches do indeed show this receiver is very picky with regards to the DLNA compatibility. It seems that it works well with WMP as DNLA but support for other DNLA servers seems to be very limited (users reported some success with Fuppes and older versions of Twonky).
I have the DLNA server enable on Plex Media Server and can access the music collection via DLNA from a Samsung TV. From the Yamaha RX-V2700 is see the Plex DLNA server, and I then have three options to browse the library: by “Songs”, by “Artists” or by “Albums”.
If is try the “Artists” or “Albums” options nothing shows up (i.e. folders are empty). When I try the “Songs” option I see three folders: Videos, Music and Photos. When I try to access any of these sub folders on the Plex DLNA server I get a “Connect Error”.
This is the DLNA profile I have made for the Yamaha receive:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Client name="Yamaha-AV">
<Identification>
<Header name="User-Agent" substring="YAMAHA Network Receiver DLNADOC/1.00"/>
</Identification>
<Settings>
<Setting name="OnlyStorageFolders" value="true" />

<UpperBound name="audio.bitrate" value ="192" />
<UpperBound name="audio.samplingRate" value="48000"/>
</Limitations>
</VideoAudioCodec>
</CodecProfiles>
</Client>
And below is the log from the Plex DLNA server. 11:53 is when I the Songs option from the Yamaha GUI and see the three folder Videos, Music and Photos. 11:54 is when I try to access the Music folder.

I have the impression the issue occurs when the tries to check the content of a folder, the the Music folder in this case. But the same error happens also when trying to access the Videos and Photos folders.
Any advise on what configuration could help in this case?
I’m aiming just at streaming music, this is all this receiver would support.
