TOPIC: SHD plugin does not connect via IP

SHD plugin does not connect via IP 11 months 2 weeks ago #47977

Hi,

I can´t connect to my SHD using the IP address field in the SHD plugin, but it connects fine using an USB Cable. Have tried both the automatic setting and with various IP addresses.

I can however connect to the SHD streaming "playback" web page, and I can see the SHD´s IP address (192.168.1.181) when checking devices on my network, so the error seems to be in the SHD plugin.

Any tips for connecting the plugin via network?

Zipp Offline Fresh Boarder Posts: 8 Karma: 0	Thank you all for the useful information. I have the new "Wi-DG" mini USB-dongle (no documentation available yet) but I can´t connect the SHD plugin with this Usb to WiFi adapter anyway. I probably need to use the USB cable for all my configurations, (it´s a bit strange to design a new product as the SHD without full wifi configurability). /Fredrik

The Wi-DG is a bit tricky to set up and defaults to a mode that wasn't useful to me. Any new mini one is likely to have the same features as the original which is documented and needs to be read. I did get mine working but it is definitely not plug and play.

I'm personally glad there's no internal wifi. High quality audio and radio broadcasting don't mix well without a huge amount of attention and some luck.

chrissy Offline Expert Boarder Posts: 99 Thank you received: 28 Karma: 4	Hi, if you stick to the manual, it's pretty easy. I think Fredrik refers to the wifi dongle. This is for volumio and streaming. Wi-DG is for control via plugin or app. But it's not worth the Money since you can't use it for dirac. I use it for little configuration work with the plugin once in a while, but after a certain time there is nothing to configure anymore. Greets Christian
