The Transporter, Mac Mini, and NAS are all on hard-wired connections. pippin wrote: > 2. Is your server probably still scanning? There have been issues with > scans getting stuck.

Checked and a new scan hasn't been run in almost a year. Status bars are all showing complete. pippin wrote: > 3. LMS 7.7.1 looks too old to me for MountainLion 10.8.5.

I was advised by the programmer who set up my Savant system not to update the LMS Server because Savant was only certified to work with 7.7.1. But I'll try this and if it doesn't work with Savant, I can always reinstall the old version. I'm just wondering if this is the problem, why do the other controller apps work fine? There is no slowness or problems with the Logitech SB Controller or Savant apps. pippin wrote: > My _very_ first suggestion would of course be to just restart LMS but I > assume you have already done that. > > Also, we've had a performance issue for a short while with ickStream > last night (European time), I assume you have tried it again since? > > The diagnostics info you sent me looks like iPeng found your server just > fine and has a good connection to it.

I have also deleted and reinstalled the iPeng app including the older Classic version. iPeng finds the LMS very quickly but takes a while longer to discover the players. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ksalno's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=54264 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51929 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
