Android Apps : playing only one title or two then stop

Hi guys, 
Running Emby as my music server. 
I would like to remote control my music library stored on a QNap NAS. 
I have installed Emby and indexed my Music folder. No problem. 


Once done, I have downloaded several apps (Emby, Symphonium, Hi-Fi Cast and Bubble UPNP). 
They can all find and access the Emby server. No problem. 

Once i'm in the music folder contant, I call for an album I'd like to listen. 
I hit "Play" on the album to play the whole album. 
But whatever app I use, after playing 1, 2, maybe 3 songs, the thing stops... 

Is there a setting that would allow to play the whole album that I missed ? 

Thanks a lot for your answers... and sorry if this has already been discussed elsewhere.

Hi,

The same happens whatever Android App I use. 
But it also happens when I drive Emby server directly from my computer. 
So I guess it is more Server related thant "Client" related 😞

I'll try to search a little more to see where the problem can be.

Hi Luke,

Thanks a lot for trying to help me out. But I think that the problem is not Emby (nor Server neither Emby Android App). 
I think the problem is the device that I would like to play back to. 
It's an "exotic" Shanling EA5 (which on paper should is of course superb). 

I've already talked to the developer of Symfonium and sent a log to him. 
He says taht the device goes into pause... and as such does not launch the new incoming file. 

But of course, should you have an idea about how to solve this, here is exactly what I would like to accomplish in my own words 🙂

So I have a QNAP NAS on which I installed Emby. 
So the QNAP is used as a media server. 

It holds about 25 000 tracks...

I can access the Emby server in several ways

- using my computer with IP Address and port 8096
- using the dedicated Emby App on Adroid
- using BubbleUPnP or Symfonium. 

I want to stream the files from the Emby server to the "renderer". That is the Shanling EA5 all-in-one device (Renderer, DAC, headphone amp...). 

Whatever the way (Emby on computer, Emby Android App, Symfonium, BubbleUPnP) they ALL give same result

- each can detect the Shanling EA5 as a rendered ; 
- they all can send files from the Emby server on QNAP NAS to the renderer
- but they ALL fail to jump to following track ; I have to manually enter "Next" to go to the next track
- one exception : Symfonium can play 3/4 files in a row, sometimes the whole album... but that is random 😞

I am sure that Emby Server is not at fault : I tried to install Plex and playing files from Plex gives the EXACT same results...
So I guess the "EA5 Renderer" is not fully DLNA compliant... and probably something with not supporting gapless playback. 

Regards.
