This post is to notify of several problems with the new Squeezeplay
software.  I upgraded to 7.4 server on ReadyNas Duo.  This is
specifically about functionality that does not work, and various
troubleshooting I've done and a workaround or two that is fully
reproducible.  Setup is: Squeezecenter 7.4 installed on ReadyNas Duo
w/1GB RAM.  Squeezebox 2 hardware on wireless N network. Squeezeplay
software controller 7.4.1 from nightly build on Windows Vista 64bit PC. 


1. The default menu for the Squeezeplay software controller does not
connect automatically to my PC player. For the PC users out there, this
is non-intuitive; the default player should either be selectable and
remembered, or just default to the PC player like in 7.3.  I've seen a
bunch of posts from confused users that is a direct result of this
problem with not defaulting to a specific player on startup. I can
select this player from the 'Choose Player' menu item, but a single
click does not work.  Must firmly 'double click' the menu item, and then
I have access to the player.  Most other items from the menu work with a
single click.  Also, the Up/Down arrows on my keyboard do not work (they
used to work on 7.3), but left/right arrows do.  

2. More IMPORTANTLY, synchronization does not work anymore.  It worked
fine on 7.3.  While my squeezeplay software does indicate that
synchronization is working (with album art consistent across players),
as soon as I synch, there is NO SOUND on my PC SqueezePlay.  The sound
works again as soon as I unlink the SB2 and the SqueezePlay.  Both the
software and hardware players can play streams from the server at the
same time just fine but only if not synched.  The fact that there is no
sound on my pc when synching is a dealbreaker and should be top priority
for a bugfix.

Thanks, mojojoj0
