The player list is the drop-down player list top-left on the main SLX page.

I certainly wasn't naming players with the same name! I did have an issue with another app somehow grabbing the soundcard for itself and Windows troubleshooting reinstalled the driver, which worked. But I wasn't trying to use SLX at the time so had forgotten about it. But I guess squeezelite must have aborted when the soundcard device driver was reinstalled, and that made the player name "PC-Focals" disappear from the list. Then when I tried to re-add it, SLX complained about the duplicate. Is there any way SLX can keep the player name in the list even if squeezelite errors? Or can squeezelite retry in the event of a driver being missing briefly? I recall you did somethingpossibly similar a while back to cope with my USB Mojo headphone amp being unplugged (as a multi-player device), and that recovers just fine now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mr-b's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10044 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108550 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
