Hi Guys
I fear that this lockdown is turning my brain to mush as I've got a very basic question about the 3 'Bridge' plugins - and I know I should be able to answer this question myself! Where's that 'embarrassed' emoji??) Long-story-short: I've had to reinstall everything after my Windows 10 PC crashed with a corrupted hard disk. Pleased to say that everything is back, working, and pretty-much 99.9% of LMS is 'as it was' (I think!) My question is about the 3rd-party plugins. UPnP Bridge, CastBridge and AirBridge "How do I know if these are working?" I thought I'd read the devices that are found are 'seen' as extra (Squeezelite) players "But where do I find these?" I can't see them if I go into LMS web interface and look at my list of players - it just shows my Logitech radios (as expected) and I can only see *some* of them elsewhere (see below) Here's what I've worked out... - In each of the plugins (on their respective plugins page) in LMS I can see the devices on my network that the plugins have found and their mac address etc etc. In my case, it's my Yamaha Amp and 2x Sky boxes - I can also see that each plugin is being let through my firewall But... in the case of the CastBridge, I can't see it anywhere on my setup - not on the TV when I'm running the Chromecast dongle, whereas I can see AirPlay on my phone and play my music from LMS (so I guess the AirBridge plugin is behaving as expected) and I can see the LMS icon on my Samsung TV (again, so I've concluded that the UPnP bridge is OK). So, I'm assuming it's the *Chromecast dongle* that the CastBridge plugin interacts with?? So, the bit that's been driving me mad is: 1. Am I right in thinking I should see my devices (Yamaha amp and Sky Boxes) as 'players'? somewhere If so, where? 2. Where do I go (at a device level) to see that the CastBridge plugin is functioning? Phew! Off for a lie down now! 😉 Cheers all. Any help appreciated.
