1) It's not a bug, it's a feature. :-) Automatically switching to
mysqueezebox.com would cause at least as many problems as it would
solve. When the pc is off, the Radio doesn't know it's off, it just
knows it can't find it on the network. Some people (mostly people using
wifi) have problems with their Radio disconnecting from the pc for no
apparent reason. Imagine if that aggravation was compounded by the
Radio suddenly deciding to switch to mysqueezebox.com?

Two suggestions for making the switch to mysqueezebox.com easier. One
is to move the "Switch to mysqueezebox.com" menu item to the Home menu,
so you don't have to burrow down into the obscure location that is the
default. The other is to look into the Server Power Control plugin. It
takes a little effort to set it up, but it can automatically
suspend/hibernate/shutdown your server pc _and_ switch it over to
mysqueezebox.com. You can set it to do this at a particular time of
day, or after X minutes of no activity from the SB.

2) You get a "player not found" message in LMS if your player is
connected to mysqueezebox.com. That is normal, because a player can
only be connected to one server at a time, either your local LMS or
mysqueezebox.com. Similarly, if your player is connected to LMS and you
go to the mysqueezebox.com page, it will say your player is
disconnected.

Finally, note that you don't need to switch to mysqueezebox.com to play
internet radio. You can get all the services on mysqueezebox.com via
LMS.
