@P Nelson
Thanks for treating me like an idiot! It's refreshing. And helpful! I
really am limited on this internet stuff and you are helpful.
I don't see a switch from LMS to MySB. Maybe because one is not up?
Excepting the one on ethernet, they all have the red sign. If I pull
that cable and leave it, it will join the conspiracy and go RED! (until
rebooted)
Rebooting them always gets it out and they connect. I think the root
problem is getting them talking to each other after they've been off a
while.
When they can't connect it says "can't connect with Julie's iMac"
WIFI password is correct. When connected, SS is 100%
Both LMS and MySB won't take my old passwords. I have requested new ones
several times; it takes 12-20 hours before they respond!! AND they don't
work!!
I can open LMS in the "preferences" of my Mac ("Julie's iMac"). I can
only spectate because I can't seem to get a PW that works.
MySB.com I just got a PW for (while this site was down. I am
reconstructing the post I already made. The site was down for about 20
minutes). So now that is enabled again. In "favorites" there was always
a list of stations, then a subset that came up as "my squeezebox.com
favorites" followed by a long list of SB favorites. Informative it may
be that a couple stations on both lists were only available in the MySB
section.
Now, only the MySB section comes up, and only on one radio-the one that
also kept stored two stations that I COULD NOT GET on other radios: KKJZ
88.1 LA On the other players would display "can't find? can't connect?
with server") and JAZZ 91 Toronto which displayed a different problem I
don't remember.
LMS: ver 8.2.0
4 radios, all: 7.7.3.16676
I don't see a place in MySB that lists a version or whatever
I've hard rebooted the router several times.
Thanks so much for helping. I hope I was helpful also!
