Many thanks for that - it does work, but like all the switching methods I have tried (squeeze commander, SBS web interface) the receiver sits in a kind of limbo after the switch (i.e. not connected to either SBS or mySB) until I unplug it then plug it in again. Then it connects to whichever

I don't understand why you would keep switching... if you have a proper SBS server, why not use it all the time? MSB is really for people without local servers. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal... Touch(wired/XP) -

My SBS is on my desktop PC which isn't left on all the time. I was hoping that the SBR could switch to MSB when the PC is off. The other thing is that when the SBS (PC) is shutdown, the SBR goes blue (I know this is normal) but won't reconnect automatically when SBS is back online until

Are you running some sort of firewall? My Duet was highly temperamental on switching and firewalling surely wasn't helping. Also I think I found relief once by removing the player from mySB and adding it again. You could try using the Server Power Control plugin (thread in 1/3 party plugins

There is another bug with switching back: your server remembers the IP address of the computer, when the server starts. If it changes later (because of a sleeping server and a router that later assigns a new IP) the server tells MySB.com its old address and the player tries to connect to this old
