Description John Dalgas 2010-02-27 09:20:50 UTC

Scenario: the Squeezebox Receiver is powered off so it is unaccessable. The Squeezebox Controller that has previously been controlling this receiver is then started up, and attempts to access 'My Music'. The conroller then sits for some timer doing circles, and then comes out with the misleading error message:
---
"Can't Connect to Library.
We couldn't connect to <Squeezebox Server library name?>. Make sure your computer is turned on and connected to your local network, and that the Squeezebox Server is currently running."
---
This error message blaims the PC and the Squeezebox Server on that PC, but nowhere mentions that the selected Squeezebox Receiver may simply not be turned on.
