Same problem here. Since the Controller forced me to upgrade this morning, I have been unable to connect to my two Receivers. Makes no difference whether I'm on mysqueezebox.com or my squeezebox server. 

I've tried everything to force the upgrade on the receivers, but I cannot connect to them. I've reset the controller to factory specs, I've rebooted the router repeatedly, all to no avail. When I turn on either Receiver (I have two of them), the red light flashes slowly and turning it on and off or resetting it by holding the button until I get rapid red flashing, makes no difference. The Receivers register as I can see them on the Controller, but I cannot access them and when I try to connect to the mysqueezebox.com network, I get a connection error (although the Diagnostics tell me that I can ping the MySB.com server at 66.150.114.115 and that the two port connections are OK -- I can also "tracert" to that IP address, so it's not a question of not being able to reach the server). 

I've also tried connecting to the squeezebox server but cannot get the players connected.

Same problem here since the 7.5.1 upgrade. Problem only relates to Duet receiver. Touch works fine.

We will plan push out an updated controller firmware for 7.5.1 for this problem.

Julius Dauz can reproduce this internally and has said he will add more detailed repro instructions.

This does not seem like a controller issue. Shouldn't I be able to do a reset on the receiver and get it connected to the server irrespective of anything to do with the controller?

Steps to reproduce

Starting FW/SW Versions
Jive - r8673

Update to: r8837

Restore both Jive and Ray to factory defaults.

If you attempt setup, you'll only get as far as attempting to setup Ray. When you select the Ray to setup, the screen just bumps.

As the OP states, if you downgrade to 7.5.0 FW and attempt the setup, it fixes it and you can update to the latest FW. 

I don't thing the issue presents itself any other way. I doubt this issue presents itself to users that update and don't need to facotry reset for, but this is based on preliminary reports of the issue.

A suggestion: add Duet Receiver setup as a QA regression test when the Duet Controller firmware or Duet Receiver firmware is changed. Such a test would have caught this bug before 7.5.1 was released.

FWIW, it is already a qualification test for software release, so there is some question as to how this got through. After assessing and fixing this bug, we will look to see if there is a particular aspect of this bug that the test case failed to cover. The QA qualification tests/process will be updated as needed.

For completeness, I can reproduce this reliably.

1) Factory reset SBC using menus
2) Factory Reset SB Receiver by holding button until fast red flash
3) Follow SBC setup process
a) Select English
b) Select Continue
c) Select North America
d) Select networkname
e) Enter password
f) Squeezebox Account screen, select 'Continue'
g) Choose player, select 'Squeezebox MACADX' depending on the last digits of your MAC address
h) Note selecting that player 'bumps' that is, the screen moves slightly but the UI does not proceed to the next screen.

NOTE the other ways of setting up the player (selecting 'Set Up Receiver' from that menu, selecting 'Choose Player' from the Home menu, etc) also fail.  I have found no workaround.

Created attachment 6884 [details]
don't send a playerCurrent notification for a nil object

This is a proposed patch that has been tested to fix receiver setup.

playerCurrent notification is going out erroneously with a nil object and it's causing squeezeplay to barf. this patch checks to make sure the player object is not nil before pushing out the notification.

I've tested this on three receivers before and after the change. Reproduced the problem every time before the change, setup worked every time after the change.

I'm actually wary of the fix because it seems too easy. I've contacted an ex-squeezebox developer that has more intimate knowledge of this code to see if I'm missing why that nil check has never been there (though I should say I have some idea why the bug just showed itself in 7.5.1).

I'll have QA do some further testing tomorrow on this and if it passes their tests we may have a new 7.5.1 controller firmware yet late Friday.

I have the same problem.

How can I downgrade the firmware on the controller and the receiver?

If reverting back to 7.5.0 is the solution, can someone direct me to a URL that will allow me to lownload this aoftware? Logitech only points to 7.5.1 - thanks!

We'll be pushing out a working 7.5.1 controller firmware out, probably Monday.

If that's too long, grab this
http://benklaas.com/jive_7.5.1._r8885.bin
and put it on an SD card. Remove the battery from your controller and slot in the SD card behind it. Boot up the controller, then go to Settings->Advanced->Software Update, and selected "Update to r8885". After this updates, you should be able to setup your receiver.

I believe this firmware to be safe, but recognize this hasn't gone through the full QA process yet. It's safer (and easier) to wait until QA qualifies this firmware and pushes it out to users via the network.

one more try on that URL

Did anybody receive the new update with out bug

Please provide an update on when QA will finish testing this firmware upgrade. I downloaded 7.5.0 and still could not get my controller to select my receiver.

Just to be clear, the fix is in 7.5.1 not 7.5.0. If you are running SBS 7.5.0, I'd recommend updating to 7.5.1:
http://downloads.slimdevices.com/SqueezeboxServer_v7.5.1/

New controller firmware (r8885) was made available Monday, and anyone running 7.5.1 SBS or connected directly to MySB.com should have seen the update by now.

If for some reason a message hasn't been pushed to screen saying an update is available, on the controller go to Settings->Advanced->Software Update and choose to update to 7.5.1 r8885

this is resolved in 7.5.1 r8885 controller firmware

That fixed the issue for me. Thanks.
