You are on the right track. Yes, all the players, including Squeezelite, communicate with the server via port 3483. Having port 3438 blocked by a firewall is a scenario I have not tested, but I know what happens (Thanks for including the log windows data). Squeezelite-X, waits for a signal from the server that the player is connected before loading the browser window. The reason I do it this way is so that when the browser interface is loaded, the player will already be in the player list, and I did not consider a case where the squeezelite-win.exe process succeeds in executing, but not in actually connecting to the server. So in this case, Squeezelite-X never gets the signal the player is connected, so never initialized the browser window. When you disabled squeezelite player, then SLX initializes the browser without waiting for the signal from the server that the player is connected (since it is disabled). So that is why the browser window loaded in that case. So the bottom line is that the player is not able to talk to the server via port 3438. I should add some logic to SLX to detect this scenario and provide a message to the operator. I don't know the details for your configuration, but you may have to configure settings on the client firewall and on the server firewall, and maybe setup your home router port forwarding as well to forward port 3438 to your server (assuming you are coming in from outside your home).
