Hi all,

I am trying to get SqueezePlay on Linux (Lubuntu) working on my home
network. For an unknown reason SqueezePlay Linux does not connect to LMS
(Logitech Media Server) that is running on a Windows PC in the same
network. I also installed SqueezePlay on a Windows PC in the same
network, and in this case everything works fine.

Details on my configuration:
Linux PC running Lubuntu 16.04.5 32-bit
Player: squeezeplay-pulse-7.8.0-1116-i386.tgz, downloaded from the LMS
linux clients page on SourceForge (since this is my first post I am not
allowed to insert an URL ...)
Server: LMS 7.7.6, running on Windows 7 64-bit
I can access the LMS web interface with Firefox on my Lubuntu system by
entering the IP adress of the LMS server + port number 9000 in Firefox.

The squeezeplay tarball is extracted to folder /opt/squeezeplay on my
Lubuntu system, as instructed on the LMS linux clients page on
SourceForge.
After starting squeezeplay.sh in folder /opt/squeezeplay/bin,
SqueezePlay starts up. After selecting the English language in the
initial screen, Squeezeplay shows a Welcome screen that says "Let's get
started by getting you connected to your network". After clicking
Continue, for a second or so SqueezePlay shows "Connecting to
mysqueezebox.com". I would have expected that SqueezePlay first tries to
connect to LMS running on a Windows 7 system in my network. Maybe it
does not see LMS and then tries to connect to mysqueezebox.com?
Connecting to mysqueezebox.com does not work. Since I did not get a
chance to enter username and password for mysqueezebox.com, I guess it
is normal that SqueezePlay cannot connect to mysqeezebox.com.
Finally I get following screen that says that says "Problem Connecting".
After this final screen there is no possibility to enter the IP address
of the LMS server manually.

Can somebody help me with troubleshooting this connection problem with
SqueezePlay on Linux?

Regards,
CJS
