Bugzilla – Bug 9227
SqueezeCenter PC doesn't appear as music source choice
Last modified: 2009-09-08 09:22:25 UTC
For the last 3-4 months, with various nightly versions of SC 7.1 and 7.2, when I configure a SB Controller I do not see the name of the PC running SC on the "Choose Music Source" screen. To configure the Controller to see SC, the workaround has been to enter in the IP address of the PC running SC. Once I do that, that SC is seen and I can proceed and choose a player. It was working fine in this regard before then and had never been an issue. This problem persisted even after I swapped out the Linksys BEFW11S4 router with a Linksys WRT54G V4 router running Tomato 1.19 firmware. Other than the router, the configuration hasn't changed for about a year. Here's the current configuration: - Thinkpad with 600MHz Celeron, 192MB RAM, Windows 2000 SP4 - Above router running WEP64 I need to gather more info at home. I've not tried wiping out the SC configuration and starting over or turning on logging. I don't remember if I see SqueezeNetwork as an option on the Music Source screen. Sorry but at home the goal is to keep SC running to keep my kids supplied with music!
Any firewall software on that PC, mickey?
Nope, no firewall software at all. It basically has just OS and SC on it.
Ross: Can you try to reproduce on Win2k SP4? Mickey: Can you bring this bad boy in the office?
(In reply to comment #3) > Ross: Can you try to reproduce on Win2k SP4? > > Mickey: Can you bring this bad boy in the office? > No need to bring it in Mickey, easily reproduced on a Win2k sp4 virtual image. Install SqueezeCenter 7.2 - 22869. However SB3 also does not see SqueezeCenter. I don't see any firewall and I searched, doesn't seem like there is a firewall in SP4.
Ok, can you get some logging and/or sniffing on this, Ross?
Created attachment 4097 [details] sniff Sniff of SB3 connecting to network but not seeing the windows 2000 source.
I looked at the sniff and compared it with a sniff of a SB3 setup succeeding (xp) but I wasn't able to see a significant difference. Let me know if more research from QA is needed.
Ross, can you follow up with Dean to see what else needs to be done, as well who this bug should be assigned to.
Ping Dean.
Richard: Any idea?
This is not Controller specific.
Looking at the sniff it appears that no Discovery Response packets are sent. I think someone needs to check in SC to see if the Win2K is somehow blocking the incoming or outgoing packets. I'm not really the best person to look at this, maybe you Michael?
Dan - is this a known issues with "real life" customers? Is w2k still being used? I can confirm w2k based machines don't show up neither on the player's server list nor on Controller.
Change 23948 - Windows 2000 is getting confused with multiple UDP broadcasts. Disable server detection on Windows 2000 in favor of player detection.
Verified to be working in 7.3 - 23961, Mickey let us know if it doesn't work at home. Thanks Michael! :-)
