    Plug-in created Ghost players

    I've updated to version 3.1.0.2 and when I start the plug-in it creates two "ghost" players/instances for players that do not exist.

    I have a player at this address: RINCON_000E58713C2601400
    which does exist, but instances (and devices) are created for these two as well:
    RINCON_000E58713C2601400_MR
    RINCON_000E58713C2601400_MS

    If I delete them from the plug-in Config page then they will re-appear when I next start the plug-in/restart HS.

    I've attached screen shots below of the Player page and UPnP viewer for your convenience/

    I also, from time-to-time, get these error messages in the log:
    May-17 11:28:26 Sonos Error Error in myDeviceFinderCallback_DeviceFound for zoneplayer = . Some crucial services are not on-line. The plug-in cannot work for this zone
    May-17 11:28:25 Sonos Error Error in myDeviceFinderCallback_DeviceFound for zoneplayer = . Some crucial services are not on-line. The plug-in cannot work for this zone



    Any idea how I can get over this issue?

    What type of players do you have? Are they paired somehow?

      I've got Connect, Connect:Amp, Play:3 and Play:5 (nine players in total). Nothing is paired.

      Forgot to attach the screenshots before so here they are:

        I've had it as well but only once.
        I'll do some code reading to see if I can figure out how and why they show up.

        Stay tuned

          Thanks, much appreciated. Happy to run a debug/beta version if you need me to gather more data.

            I just checked the code and I have very specific checks on what devices to discover and yet, somehow the PI picks up wrong devices.

            If you can easily recreate this, could you help me and do the following:

            a/ delete the 2 ghost devices by clicking on the delete button on the Sonos config page
            b/ set the debug flag on and set the UPNP Functions debug level to 'Verbose'
            c/ restart PI or HS or whatever you do to make it happen
            d/ If it happens again, take screen shot of device table (Sonos Config page)
            e/ Click on "view Sonos Devices" button at the bottom of the Sonos Config Page.
            f/ Take screen shot of that page
            g/ If the "ghost" device is on that list, click on its hyper-linked "Device Friendly Name"
            h/ save the page that opens with the info of the ghost device
            i/ stop HS, zip the HS log file (hs_root/logs/HomeSeerLog.hsd) and email it to me, together with screen shot of the device table.

            Start HS/PI and turn off all the debugging.

            Cheers,

            Dirk

              Never mind, I found a way to recreate it. It actually happens when a player gets discovered AFTER the PI is active. So if I take a player off-line, delete it from the PI, bring the player on-line, it happens.

              Will be fixed in next version, hopefully this week. I'm supposed to get a playbar tomorrow so I plan on adding that support and then release both the fix for the ghost player and the playbar support

                  See my previous posting. I believe I found the issue and have a solution soaking already. No need for you to re-create.

                  Thanks

                      Hi Dirk

                      Just thought I'd check in and see how the fix was coming along? Happy to test a beta version if you have anything ready?

                        Working on playbar integration. Can post a beta here if you can't wait.

                          Thanks for the update. Just sat the other thread that you have posted 3.1.0.3. I will give this a try when it appears in the updater.
