I have something like that occur using a ps4 doing dlna rendering against a UMS server I run locally, where it dies after 30 minutes. I've never figured out why, using it as a stop-gap when my htpc died suddenly, but it was annoying enough I bought the said switch to replace it. I thought it was a sony thing hating that I'm watching movie rips on it, but maybe not. DLNA is always shaky when I've used it, I have no issues with kodi smb mounting my filers though. -mb On Mon, Oct 23, 2017 at 6:26 PM, Mark Phillips wrote: > Well, my Roku woes continue.
