I think I may have determined one possible cause of this particular behaviour. I find that, if the Radio does not have a currently configured network, an attempt to "Repair Network" (under "Network Health") will yield the symptoms you describe (never ending spinny). Although, in my case, a good longish press of the power button did cause the Radio to restart. In these circumstances, a look at "Check Network" first would have shown "No network interface". Unfortunately "Repair Network" fails to check that fact before doing its thing, and sends the Radio off into la-la land. That does not tell us why your Radio found itself without a currently configured network. In my case it was the result of a failure to establish a wi-fi connection with a test access point I have been running. I would guess that it is related in some way to the wi-fi connectivity issues you are having. This bug is present in both the stock firmware and the Community release firmware. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mrw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38299 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=113479 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
