I thought I'd share this with everybody.
For no apparent reason, my Oppo blu ray player stopped showing up in Mediamonkey, in the UPnP/DLNA player select box.
What I did was to unplug the blu ray player and then replug it in. That forces the network to re-establish a network connection with your computer. The blu ray player most likely was still running off your router, happily delivering netflix or whatever you have streaming across your internet. But by rebooting your DLNA device by depriving it of any electricity. it will force the device + router + computer to re-establish it's connection.
Also, some devices might has an alternative way to force a hard reset.
