Volumio Connection Issues

[mike...@gmail.com]

Hello,

I've started using Tuneblade and then purchased a license because it seems like a great product. I use it to connect my Windows 10 desktop to a Volumio setup on a Pi3. My setup is a little unique (but isn't everyone's). On one side of my room I have the audio setup with Volumio linked in to the amp. On the other side of the room is where my work laptop and personal desktop reside. During the day, when I'm doing work, I'll keep a remote desktop instance open to my personal desktop so that I can use Tuneblade to link to Volumio and play music from Google Music (I can't install Tuneblade on my work laptop). For the most part this works.

The trouble I'm getting is this: I can start both systems fresh from a reboot and connect Tuneblade to Volumio and stream from Google Music without issue. However, it seems as if I change sources in Volumio to something like an internet radio station or play MP3 and then go back and try to stream from Tuneblade I cannot get Tuneblade to connect to the Volumio instance. The instance is listed and shows as disconnected, but if I click the play icon it goes to "Connecting", then to "Connected", "Buffering", and finally back to disconnected.

An error dialog appears but I keep forgetting to screenshot it. I don't know where to look for the application logs. Perhaps System Event Viewer (software dev here)?

The only way to recover the connection is to restart both machines. Simply closing Tuneblade and then opening it again does not seem to work.

I don't know if this occurs because I'm using a remote desktop connection (I have the setting to play sounds on the host enabled) but as I said it works when both machines are "fresh". This also seems to happen if the remote desktop session closes on the Windows 10 machine, but I haven't completely narrowed it down to that fact. I'm not sure if other capture methods would work. I briefly tried some of the other options but really didn't get anywhere with them.

Thanks!

Update: I tried just restarting the Windows 10 machine. Now it does not find the Volumio instance.
