Losing My Playlist and more
Answered
Hi, Just received my Node (2021) yesterday and using it is a frustrating experience.
After the initial iPhone setup, things run well until, at some point, the iPhone loses the player. After that all the My* and music source menu selections are gone and I'm left with;
Settings
Help
Add a Player
When I try "Add a Player", it goes looking for players and the return a message to Go to Settings App, Go to "WIFI" and select your player, Return to BluOS App.
I don't see the Node under WIFI. I do see it listed under Bluetooth. I select that and return to the BluOS App only to find that it still doesn't see the Node.
The only solution I've found so far is to power-cycle the Node device.
Is there a better way?

.....or your player is losing it's network connection, meaning you have a network issue.
Not sure if you set up your player with WiFi connection or ethernet, but if you are using WiFi, make sure your player and phone is using the same "band" (2.4GHz or 5GHz).
Also make sure your router isn't blocking multicast traffic.0 -
Thank you for the suggestions.
The setup was with WIFI and I forced 5GHz by disabling the 2.4Ghz functionality. Since then, I connected the Node to wired Ethernet and the setup is much more stable.
I have an Arris SBG7600AC2 cable modem/router and can't find the multicast setting. I'll contact their customer support. Reading other posts, it seems that some router "optimizations" can cause problems. I've now disabled all that I could find and will retry WIFI day.
Probably should have listed my current SW revisions.;
iOS App: 3.14.1
BluOS; 3.14.26
EDIT: I disabled WMM and WMM Power Save mode. WMM is a QoS function. The Node seems more stable now. I'll report back in a few days.
