Usually the config file is not very needed for CC devices. Having devices entries in there does NOT create the device, but it helps configuring it AFTER it is detected during a search. The only options that might have an impact are the GLOBAL ones related to network. Do you have multiple network interfaces o, your NAS? Have you changed something (anything) in your network configuration? LMS 8.2 on Odroid-C4 - *SqueezeAMP!*, 5xRadio, 5xBoom, 2xDuet, 1xTouch, 1xSB3.
