Bugzilla – Bug 11154
Controller doesn't reconnect to SC after disconnecting by holding Back-button
Last modified: 2009-02-24 07:10:36 UTC
After holding the Back-button on my Controller it disconnected from my player and server. When I want to connect again (Settings > Music Source > <my squeezecenter server>) it fails. A short shift in the screen when U select my server but it stays in the list. I cannot find a way to connect to my server again. I use SqueezeCenter 7.3.2 (r24695) with Controller-firmware r3993.

If you use 'select player' instead of select server, does the SBC reconnect to the player/server properly?
Where in the menu can I find that option?
I found the option (had to enable it in Settings > Home Menu first). Connecting to a player does work.
Selecting a 'player' is the proper way to get the SBC back on the network.
Wouldn't it be better to always show that option in the menu when the controller is disconnected and not the Music Source menu?
It should always be displayed when the SBC is disconnected from the player, unless you have modified your home menu. I have verified that FW r3993 is properly showing the 'Choose Player' menu when going to forced setup. I.E. holding back button for 3 sec
