Win7 PC running MM 4.1.24.1883; media library is a Synology NAS (although I think this is irrelevant); MM Service is installed & running (labelled "MM Server"); Tools -> Library -> Media Sharing is On and automatically accepts any connections from any internal network IP.
Denon AVR-S710W receiver connected HDMI to TV (so I can see the Denon menus, etc.)
Everything is wired, not wireless, same network.
On the receiver, I go to Online Music -> Media Servers... the "MM Server" is not listed.
I start MM application on the PC, suddenly the "MM Server" is listed as a media server on the TV/Denon receiver. Everything works fine (I can see playlists, play music, no problems).
The MM service is still showing "Running" on the PC.
If I stop the MM Application, the "MM Server" disappears from the media server listing on the TV/Denon.
Am I missing something? I thought the MM service would allow me to access the library even when the application is not running in the foreground.
