Issue resolved after using device “Reset” option:
Firmware causes:
Network HDMI audio to disconnect after each rew, fwd, and long pause. This causes receivers to reset the audio detect.
A/V disconnects should only occur when a file is loaded during properties configuration detection.
So now instead of one disconnect per file you could have multiples.
This accelerates the wear on receiver components that uses a switch (click/click)!
Local storage playback seems good.
Fixed this network issue with a device reset under options.
