Have you updated your device to a newer version of Android within the last few months? Android has been progressively become more draconian about shutting down background processes and network connections to save power. What is likely happening is that when Squeeze Ctrl has been in the background for a while, the system is either suspending the app or it's network connection, so when you bring it back to the foreground the app has to reconnect and the default player will be chosen. Check that battery optimization is still disabled for Squeeze Ctrl and "Always Connected" is still enabled in Squeeze Ctrl. Also there maybe some power saving options on your device that you can tweak. -------------- Squeezebox apps for webOS, Android and Windows Phone, http://www.angrygoatapps.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wt0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96757 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
