It's nothing to do with the config settings. The problem is indeed the missing internet connection. Actually, it's only if it's an INTERMITTENTLY missing internet connection. I've been able to reproduce it and the problem is as follows: iPeng uses an iPhone function to determine whether SqueezeNetwork is reachable on startup. This function just returns the network state. Now the problem is, that when your router contains routing information for an internet route but that one is not available, this function hangs until it runs into a timeout after one minute. Now iPhoneOS on the other hand shuts down iPeng if it doesn't react for more than 10s. IMHO this is a really bad design in iPhoneOS that a simple status query hangs for a minute, but what can I do? I'll do a rewrite moving this to a separate thread, but until that there's little I can do other than to recommend to either use a network that is completely separated from internet access or to provide internet access. Or to use a router that actually updates it's routing information to return correct values, which actually would be the REAL fix for such a situation, but obviously most routers act like this. -- pippin --- see iPeng, the Squeezebox iPhone remote, at penguinlovesmusic.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pippin's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13777 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
