Hi Michael Yes, sorry, the actual problem is with the way Material skin discover the available apps to show under the Apps menu, and I asked Craig about it 'here' (https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?109624-Announce-Material-Skin&p=1001000&viewfull=1#post1001000). The problem is that Material uses a request Code: -------------------- ["aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff",["myapps","items",0,25000,"menu:1"]] -------------------- to list the available Apps for the current player to build the menu. However, this request only lists Tidal as an available app if the current player is registered on mysb, since Tidal is a mysb app. I know from reading other threads that you don't actually expect non-SB players to register in mysb, but oddly enough most of mine do - I only 9 players including a Boom, a transporter and 7 pcp's. 5 of the pcps appear in mysb, 2 of them don't and I can't find a way to make them. For the 5 that do appear, the ccontent is a little random - a couple show firmware version, 3 don't. For those players that do appear, Tidal appears under Apps in Material, for the 2 that don't, it doesn't. You'll see on that thread that Craig mentions he doesn't use streaming services, so he's not sure how to address this. It's clear there's another way to list the apps - the main UI and other apps (e.g. SqueezeControl) list tidal for all players for me and I see a different request structure from SqueezeControl when I watch it through a proxy. So, the real underlying question is - is there a better way for Craig to get a list of the Apps when he's building his menu. Failing that, is there a way to register a player. Having looked at the link in the web client to switch the Music Source, I see it http://192.168.3.20:9000/switchserver.html?player=b8%3A27%3Aeb%3Axx%3Axx%3Axx&switchto=mysqueezebox.com If I run this with the mac address of one of the PCPs that won't register, it seems to tell squeezelite running on that pi to switch to mysb.com, but the device doesn't register on mysb, so it can't connect. So, you need to stop and restart squeezelite on that device to get it connected to the local LMS again. I also tried running squeezeplay and choosing one of the players, running Test and registering the SN on mysb that way. This can create an entry on mysb called "Player", but it registers it with the mac address of the pc I'm using to run squeezeplay, not the player that squeezeplay is controlling. Hope that makes sense and thanks for the help. pete S ------------------------------------------------------------------------ psketch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=56555 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113525 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezenetwork
