You are correct that 7.5.4 has not been released yet. So for the time
being the options remain the same (listed in my personal order of
preference, YMMV):
a) update your SBS to 7.5.4 (beta), or
b) don't switch between SBS and mysb.com, or
c) continue to be annoyed.

You would think someone at Logitech would have gotten sick of all the

it's caused.

I had been using SqueezeServer 7.5.4 which used firmware 133. I had

updated SS 7.6.0 to the latest nightly r32268 which updated the
firmware to 136. Just out of curiosity is there somewhere that explains

I used to know, but since updating my SBS to 7.5.4 I've forgotten,
because it's no longer an issue. My vague recollection is that they
fixed the bug that was causing connectivity problems, so they wanted to

Hi,
When I switch source from mysqueezebox.com to SqueezeCentre, and vice

upgrade.
SB Model: Classic
SqueezeCenter version: 7.5.1 (says 7.5.3 is available for download)

Thats because mysb runs at 7.5.4 and that version needs another firmware
in the players. So when you switch to mysb it upgrades the players
firmware to 133 and when you switch back to SBS it downgrades the
players to firmware 130.
Its been like this always. If you want to avoid this then upgrade

It usually runs the same version as the latest officially released

still at 7.5.3 and MySB is at 7.5.4. That is why you need to go to
