Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Getting Squeezeplay working on Win 7
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/ack packets happen when a device is plugged in. (Aside : oddly, one of the two controllers of the two Duets chats back and fore with the server regularly - the other doesn't. No idea why.) But when I did the same with my laptop and squeezeplay - I found nothing was getting there. I used to use VMWare on this laptop, and because of that there were various virtual interfaces defined. I wondered if these were confusing Squeezeplay, so I uninstalled VMWare (as I don't use it). bingo, it started working just fine. I guess Squeezeplay auto-selected the wrong interface. So anyone with more than one interface might have an issue, I would guess. (By the way - it took me a while to discover that the old slimp3 UDP protocol is not used anymore. Perhaps someone should mark it OBSOLETE in the wiki in big red letters and link to http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/SlimProtoTCPProtocol ? Wireshark/tshark have a definition for this protocol, not the current one, also - tends to make you think it is current ;-) ) thanks for the help all! danmcb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36694 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106510 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Getting Squeezeplay working on Win 7
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 to be listed at the server. This seems to be a bit worse recently - before this only needed to be done once in a while.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Getting Squeezeplay working on Win 7
Sorry I'm late to this party... Have you looked in the WebUI to see if your Squeezeplay shows there? I've had the issue where Squeezeplay won't connect just like you say, but I could still play music on it by using the WebUI or any other controller, like a Duet controller or one of the Android or iThing controllers. I've never got a resolution why I couldn't connect from the SqueezePlay interface. 2 Duets - 1 for upstairs and 1 for downstairs Rock Solid with LMS 7.9 on WHS 2011 w3wilkes's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=22973 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106510 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Restart modem and router, let fully start. then restart computer running LMS and let LMS fully start. Then plugin/turn on squeezebox players, including starting Squeezeplay on the win7 machine.

Full logging is on by default, but it's mostly useless for
troubleshooting connectivity issues.
The log files are at

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Getting Squeezeplay working on Win 7
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 find the problem? It seems that there is no reason for this not to work. It's a fairly standard system. So what gives? I am pretty proficient technically, if someone can tell me what to check, where to start looking, I will dig. The fact that softsqueeze discovers my server already says something, right? presumably at that point it tries to connect and here is the problem. What kind of connection does it make? what port? I can dig out wireshark and see what is happening. danmcb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36694 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106510 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
