Well I took an even bigger plunge and bought a Pi3, fresh install of pCp, LMS and associated tinkery bits and Spotty (4.4.1) is now working perfectly. Spotify Connect devices are correctly and permanently announced and the interface is now lightning fast. The old Dockstar unit served me well for 10years and was still reliable for file serving, but the Pi3 is much faster and has apparently solved my issue> Many thanks for your help and the masses of work you do to keep this held together. Mark 4 Pis running piCoreplayer served by LMS on a Seagate Dockstar running Squeezeplug . All controlled from the sluggish Web UI :( and the sensational Squeezecommander App ------------------------------------------------------------------------ furnace's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=53294 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=112962 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
