I was re-reading the user guide and saw this:

Firewall precaution: CC players will obtain the audio file to be played
by issuing an HTTP GET request on a webserver running inside the bridge.
This means that the OS must not filter out these requests (usually port
49152, opened by the bridge). It has been observed on Windows 7 that the
bridge must be run directly by the user only once by launching it from
C:\ProgramData\Squeezebox\Cache\InstalledPlugins\Plugins\CastBridge, to
create the necessary firewall authorization. Without that, players might
be detected normally but no song will be played.

It turns out this was my problem. Perhaps a recent Windows update reset
the firewall? I might suggest that a new trouble shooting link could be
added to the screen to suggest this tip, and any others that may exist,
as it's kind of buried in the user guide currently. 

But very happy it's working again!
