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.
