Ah, okay. Good information. Actually, I meant ARPs against the player (TOUCH) on their end. If the player's MAC were to be associated with two accounts (again due to, say, a re-provisioning bug ... or maybe admin/polit error who moved it), then the device could cluctuate between accounts (as ARP requests were made), giving rise to the sudden "No player found on mySqueezeBox.Com" in my account. The drawback to my ARP hypothesis is that the TOUCH itself never disconnects (no pauses or gaps in the music). Regarding your thoughts about Andriod doing something fishy -- -and btw, a reviewer on the Google Play App Store complained about the same APP issue starting with Andriod Marshmallow O/S --- I guess I could sniff the traffic (tcpdump), but would have to find time to do that. Btw, the phone runs Android Marshmallow and the tablet runs Android Lollipop, but both have the issue (although the tablet takes longer to fail). Maybe an easier route to test the -Andriod-being-the-problem- possibility, is to boot my PC into Windows 10 (I run Fedora Linux) and try this 'App' (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps/squeeze-remote/9wzdncrdmktn). (Bad reviews and it's not free). :( Not that I'm expecting you to do anything with all of this information @pippin. We're just trading notes (which I appreciate). :D ------------------------------------------------------------------------ nyceyes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=48920 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=105517 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
