[SlimDevices: Plugins] Getting Squeezeplay working on Win 7

2016-11-25 Thread danmcb
Hi, Wonder if anyone can help me here. I have a LMS running on Debian, v. 7.7.6 with two duets and a boom. The thing has been stable now for several years, bar the odd reset. I run the whole thing over my wifi LAN, just a generic Linksys wifi modem. All good. But I have never had luck with Squee

does the LMC have to be 7.8.0 for the 7.8.0 Squeezeplay? is there not backwards compatibility? danmcb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36694 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthre

Thanks for the replies. I still have the same issue. The firewall is there (it is listed as "jive"). There were a few old rules for softqueeze which I have had in the past, but uninstalled a long time back. Could Malwarebytes be blocking it somehow? Can I use log files at the server to try to

Thanks. I did the firewall thing as you suggest, still the same thing. Anyway, if I switch off the firewall, no change so I don't think that is the issue. I installed on my daughter's win 10 laptop, everything worked fine right off the bat. I notice that it first offered me a choice to select the

thanks. That's interesting. Now it doesn't find my server at all ... How does a new device discover the server? is there some kind of handshake on a special port or something? danmcb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.

thanks all for the suggestions. 1. did the full reboot thing, no change. The squeezeplay doesn't find the server, and the server doesn't list squeezeplay. 2. I notice one odd thing - the other devices, Duets and the Boom - if I don't use them for a day or so, I have to power cycle them for them

OK, mystery solved! Basically, I used tcpdump at the server and discovered that discovery requests were not arriving. The command is: >tcpdump -i eth0 -n port 3483 I unplugged all squeeze devices from the network and then ran this command in a shell at the server. You can clearly see the req/ac

so am I! it was driving me nuts. is this worth a bug report of some kind? perhaps have Squeezeplay try other interfaces if it doesn't find a server, or at least give some kind of message? rather than fail silently? danmcb'
