Bug: Windows 8 App and "Play to" Problem

[gcoupe 63]

When playing music directly on a Windows 8 system, the Windows 8 App will play Music tracks in a Playlist correctly, i.e. in sequence. However, if I use the "Play to" function in Windows 8 and direct the music tracks to a separate playback device, then the App stops after the first track. It does not step to the next track.

 

Windows 8 App: version 1.1.1.3
MB Server: version  3.0.5083.27698

Windows 8.1

 

I hope this can be fixed, because I use my Windows 8 Tablet to access my music collection and play the tracks on my Hi-Fi system.

Does playback continue on the machine running the app or does playback stop completely?

Is the client your playing-to also the windows 8 app?

Playback stops completely.

I've tested it with two DMR devices (Digital Media Renderer in DLNA-speak).

1) Windows Media Player running on a separate PC which has Windows 8.1 as the OS

2) A Denon AVR3808.

 

Both work as expected using "Play to" in either Microsoft's Xbox Music App, MediaMonkey (the Windows 8 App), or Windows Media Player. With the MB3 Windows 8 App, "Play To" stops after the first track is played.

I've done some initial testing / changes and I'm halfway there.

(Playback is correct now, but I need to change the way seeking in track is done)
