Umm... to avoid future confusion: That App is called "Logitech
Squeezebox Controller" (like the hardware). SB Player is a Squeezebox
_player_ App (not a controller App) for Android. Calling a controller a
"player" is really, really confusing, expect people not to understand
what you are talking about when you mix them up.

In the Squeezebox world, a "Controller" is what you use to control a
device (or your playback), a "player" is the thing that plays the
music.

>From what you describe it sounds like there is an issue with iPeng
retrieving any data with good performance from your server so that it
takes a long time to find devices and a long time to open menus, so that
they eventually time out.

I can see three possible reasons for this: 

1. Your library lookup is slow. You mention that the server runs on a
Mac and the data is on a ReadyNAS. This can perform pretty well, I run a
similar setup. However: only if you use wired ethernet for the
connection between the Mac and the ReadyNAS. If you use WiFi here the
performance will be bad. My guess: unlikely.

2. Is your server probably still scanning? There have been issues with
scans getting stuck. You can see this in the server's web interface
under "Settings->Information". The symptom is that there is an
unfinished progress chart being shown there. My guess: somewhat likely.

3. LMS 7.7.1 looks too old to me for MountainLion 10.8.5. Apple
regularly updates the Perl version for their OS and 10.8.5 came out 18
months after LMS 7.7.1. Usually this causes trouble, for example
Logitech just released LMS 7.7.4 for compatibility reasons with OSX
10.10 and even that might not run perfectly well with OSX 10.10.1 which
just came out.
So my first suggestion would be to update your server to LMS 7.7.3 or
7.8.1 (there seem to be some issues with 7.7.4, I would not use that
unless you need Yosemite).

My _very_ first suggestion would of course be to just restart LMS but I
assume you have already done that.

Also, we've had a performance issue for a short while with ickStream
last night (European time), I assume you have tried it again since?

The diagnostics info you sent me looks like iPeng found your server just
fine and has a good connection to it. So at first glance it doesn't look
like a network issue although you can never really rule those out.
