Cannot disconnect receiver from offline squeezecenter
Last modified: 2009-10-12 08:06:22 UTC
I have a Squeezebox receiver that was streaming from one instance of SqueezeCenter (v7.1) on a Mac. That receiver was paused and taken off the network. I have another instance of SqueezeCenter running on a WinXP machine. When I use the drop-down to select the receiver, I am told it is connected to the other instance, and I am asked if I would like to disconnect the receiver from that server. I say yes but nothing appears to happen.
What about using Controller? The web interface relies on the other instance releasing the player.
Yes, using the controller will switch the receiver to the other source. Why can't the web interface also do that?
Verify in 7.2.1 and 7.3
Verified 7.2.1 & 7.3 do not release the player when not running. If SC is running, then the another SC instance can pull the player. The Player can still move to another server from the player UI or to SqueezeNetwork. Michael, would you be the proper person to address this? or someone else.
That's not going to happen in 7.3 It requires major changes in the player detection and the client side. The problem here is that SC doesn't tell the player to connect to another SC, but SC A is asking SC B to send the player over. Controller otoh is talking to the players directly, doing the detection etc. locally on the remote.
