Ok, so I fixed the problem on one computer, but the other computer is still having issues, but anyway i got it working on one computer. I was able to fix it on the one computer by deleting the library and readding everything. Now it works, but there is another problem I discovered, which i believe is reproducible by anyone. While music and video's work if they are added into the library, they will not play via dlna if they are not added in the mediamonkey library. Let me explain, if you plug in a flash drive, ipod, mp3 player etc. and try to play it via dlna it will simply not work. That is unless it is added into the music library. If you add it to the library it will work, otherwise it will not work. Same rule applies if the music is on a local hard drive or on a remote share but just not added to the library. That was part of the problem for me. When I copied some songs to my local hard drive, i simply opened them from my computer without adding them to the library. Then when I deleted the library and readded my songs from my network share, everything started working...
ANYway, it does seem like a bug to me, but I would like someone else to try opening a song that is not already added in their library before i possibly open up a new bug report. So just to clarify again to reproduce this bug you must change the player to a dlna renderer, then play a song that is not in your library such as on an mp3 player. Thanks Everyone, and please someone post back if this can be reproduced.
