"Location permission is required" when trying to scan for Wi-Fi players
Beantwortet
Is this a known bug?
The permission is granted! Whether I use the "Open Settings" from within the popup in the app or reach the same place via Andoid's own settings screens, "Location" is properly listed under "Allowed".
The app does see (most of the time) the one player that I have set up so far, while hardwired to the network. Hardwiring the second player would be very difficult, so I'm hoping to get it to join the network using Wi-Fi scanning.
I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the app (4.4.3) and rebooted.
This is in Android 13 on an up-to-date Samsung tablet: Galaxy Tab S7+.

Hi Abe
Location Services is required by many of our Music Services to determine what Services are available and what music licensing agreements are in play given your region.

@Tony W.:
Please take fifteen seconds to read what I wrote in the post. You clearly read only the title.

Hi Abe,
Indeed the response by Tony does not appear to relate to your question, some of his responses seem rather hastily.
I do not believe this is a BluOS bug, location permission for wifi scanning is an Android requirement. Please refer to following permission requirements for Wi-Fi scanning on the Android website:
https://developer.android.com/develop/connectivity/wifi/wifi-scan#wifi-scan-permissions
If you do not wish to allow location access, you probably (I never tried this) may circumvent this by temporarily connecting the second player by ethernet cable to your LAN and manually configuring the wifi settings on the player, either:
- through the BluOS controller app: Settings - Player - Wifi, or
- through the web interface using a webbrowser, directly accessing your player's control panel using the player's IP address, e.g. http://192.168.50.200/ (but then of course using the IP of your player); the control panel has an option "Configure WiFi" for manual configuration.
