If you search around you will find people talking about rogue uPnP/DLNA devices (often TVs) flooding the network and causing the LMS uPnP/DLNA interface to fail. I used to get this which was one of the reasons why I added a Plex server - the other was streaming ripped DVD's - Plex seems to handle it better. Yes there are 2 x Db's as a result but the overhead is tiny. I have Linux LMS server with OS, db and cache on SSD -> media files on NAS via NFS Linux Plex server on standard HD -> media files on same NAS via NFS and to be complete Dev Pi4 LMS server -> media files on same NAS via NFS Although I do have Plex pointing at my music files I rarely use DLNA for music. Its predominatly for video streaming and using Plex clients (e.g. on Amazon Fire) rather than DLNA.
