I'm not quite sure I understand what you are saying. But, you cannot give duplicate names to players. So if your main player is "PC-Focals" then you cannot name another player "PC-Focals". A "player" is basically an instance of the squeezelite player. If you enable additional players, SLX will spawn additional instances of squeezelite and they each are separate and distinct. The intent of this feature was to allow someone with multiple sound cards in a multi-room scenario create multiple players and connect them to different sound cards to drive other rooms. Also, not sure what player list you are talking about when you say "PC-Focals disappeared from the list". What is "whihc"? When SLX spawns a squeezelite player, if the parameters passed to that player have a problem, squeezelite will generally abort. So SLX generally assumes that if squeezelite aborted, it is due to an issue with parameters. squeezelite allows you to define custom parameters related to all sorts of things like codecs, buffers, and more. Generally, SLX passes the player name, server name, and audio card. Unless you manually modified/added parameters, then the only thing I can think that would cause squeezelite to abort would be the sound card selected was missing. But generally SLX checks for that prior to running squeezelite. Maybe the audio device went offline after it was started?
