No, I don’t use Net::UDAP myself.
But could you mail me at coolio att penguinlovesmusic dott com, this is getting a bit lengthy and I still do not fully understand, what exactly the problem is. Do you have issues connecting iPeng to the server or the player?
iPeng should see the player whenever it’s connected to the same server as the player, I was under the impression that the problem here is to move the player between sources, not iPeng?

ipeng will connect to SC but only if i reset (power off and on) the player. and the same is true if i want to switch back to mysqueezebox.
ipeng also needs to be restarted for the change to occur.

the receiver has been successfully connected to all available sources.

if ipeng needs to be on the same network in order to make the switch, does this mean a computer running SC needs to be active to use ipeng?

would this be easier if i sent you my Net::UDAP configuration?

Ah. You can’t connect it to your LOCAL server, is that the issue?
Do you address the server over internet or are you connected to the same network? I believe iPeng has to be on the same network to make this work. Also, I’m not 100% sure, maybe the Receiver has to have been connected to the server once before you can send it back to that one, have you tried to configure it using Net::UDAP?

in ipeng i swipe right to reveal the page to the left which lists the active sources on my network. all appear without prompt. from here i select the alternative source and check the box to switch player to that source. then i get the message described above.

by default in Net:UDAP it is set to connect to mysqueezebox. maybe i can send you a list of the current settings? and yes, my receiver is configured with Net:UDAP

How do you switch sources? (can you describe the steps)
What kind of player is this? Maybe a Receiver you configured with Net::UDAP?

yes, it connects to mysqueezebox no problems and it’s the same account. i only encounter the loss of connection when i switch sources. i only have one player so i’m not sure where the problem lies. i’m running version SBS 7.4.1

Is you “MySqueezebox.com” account set correctly in your server?
Is iPeng connected to the same “MySB account” as your players?
Can you see your players in MySqueezebox.com (the web interface) when you connect them there?
You don’t use SBS 7.5.0, don’t you? That one uses “www.test.squeezenetwork.com” as “MySB” server, you will have to add that server manually to iPeng.

hi,

i’ve finally got my squeezebox up and running in my system. my problem being i cannot switch between sources without losing the connection completely. for example let’s say i’m streaming music from itunes via SC on my mac, when i switch to SN and select the player i want it shows the message “player cannot be found”. switching back to SC on the mac shows the same message. both sources function normally prior to switching. right now i have to unplug the player each time i want to switch sources.

help appreciated at this point.

Hey Joerg,
thanks for the tip. That did the trick.
I was pretty sure that I’d read the FAQs before posting. I must have overlooked that Item.
Sorry for any trouble and thanks for the really prompt answer.
I look forward to future updates of this great program.
All the best
Steve

Steve,

please try to uninstall and reinstall iPeng, this should solve the issue.
