Hello,
I have a strange problem... I have an LMS installation on a linux virtual machine running in Hyper-V in a Windows 10 host. The virtual machine is connected to an external switch (hyper-v terminology: it is present on the same physical network as the host).
My Squeezeboxes see this virtual server, can connect and take the standby screen from it. As soon as they connect to the server, they go to standby. Then, when I switch on a Squeezebox, it briefly shows Free Your Music, and then returns to standby (after 1-2 seconds at most). It is not fully consistent: on one occasion a Squeezebox 3 managed to stay on without returning to standby. But I cannot reproduce it: now all my physical devices immediately go back to standby. Squeezelite-X seems to be able to connect without problems.
Any idea what could explain this behaviour? I have reinstalled Hyper-V, cleaned up my network adapters, redefined the virtual switches, but the result is always the same... In the past I was successful with LMS on VirtualBox (also linux guest on windows host). I'm stumped: the Squeezeboxes work perfectly with other LMS installations.
edit: Solution found. I was using the LMS installation from music-server.net, which in its basic installation has some added functionality. Testing with an empty library can give this behaviour as one of the added functionality is that it powers off after end of playback.
Thanks,
Jörg
