During automatic playback of a directory's contents files are skipped. The skipped file can be seen both locally on the server and in the rendered folder view of the UPnP client (LG BD570). If the directory is set to play again the same file will be skipped, it is 100% repeatable. This behavior is present both in older versions and the latest git version against which I'm reporting. I've looked in the log file and there is no evidence of anything wrong, no errors nor warnings. It's as if minidlna isn't even aware of this file. But here's the really weird thing - if the file is explicitly selected (by clicking on it) it does in fact play ! So apparently minidlna can find it. So what's different between starting play explicitly vs. automatically? And why does it fail for some files during automatic playback?

    BTW, I'm an experienced developer who's willing to help. I just need some direction and guidance regarding what code to examine and test.For instance, what part of the code decides which song to play next when playing a directory's contents automatically (not from a playlist).

      Are they requested one at a time or in the case of a playlist does
      minidlna process the entire playlist?

        Never mind. I figured it out. It was a networking problem (MTU size).
        Sorry about the false alarm.
