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.
