I mainly use MM5 as DNLA server on a Win10 computer. When it works it's fabulous but starting the server is a chore every time.
- I've installed the server as a service; the services console confirms it's running after startup; with Task Manager i see MM in the list of background processes.
When I connect from my phone with MMA all goes well until I click a track to play: I see the 'loading' icon for a long time and then "Access Denied". Sometimes I get "server inaccessable".
Back to the windows computer. In Task Manager MM disappeared from the background processes. In 'services' something strange is going on: the process is indicated as 'running' but clicking with the right mouse button reveals that 'start' is available and 'stop' is greyed out.
Re-starting the service in the services console doesn't help; the same process occurrs time and again.
- I then start MM5 on the windows computer and try again with MMA. Same result: all goes well until I try playing a track.
- I close and restart MM5. Usually this time the server works - and keeps working. Sometimes a third retry is necessary.
Although, so far, I've always managed to get it working in the end, this is still a rather annoying (and time-consuming) way of starting a program
Has anyone experienced something like this? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Server Inaccessable
I'd recommend trying the latest MediaMonkey 5.1 beta as it has some improvements in this area that may solve the problem for you.
