Meridian Unplugged - Powered by MrTechGuy.co.uk Forums Discussion Meridian - Streaming iOS 8 problem with Sooloos iPhone app

I received some info back from Meridian today (yay!) confirming the awareness of the issues with the app on all iOS8 devices with a fix forthcoming but no timetable. With that said they pointed me with a link to Core Control for iPad in the app store (not Control:PC/MAC) that only works with the iPad (tried on my phones and message says iPad only) and I can now connect with the iPad and function. I guess it is different than what I had already installed.

In response to the other responses (thanks!) I had not changed hardware or anything else, simply updated to iOS8 on my devices. The computers in my network (1 PC laptop, 1 iMac, 1 PC desktop all wired and 1 Macbook Pro wireless) all work fine and have all along so I was convinced I do not have a network issue and that has now been confirmed with the use of Core Control on my iPad working.

BUT... what is odd is now my iphones and older iPod now connect again albeit I still have the "i" issue. Seems like maybe it was "hung" in some way and using Core Control for iPad to connect freed it up but that doesn't make much sense.

Well at least I'm back to ground zero and functional again.

This is the link they provided if it helps anyone and I can post it iTunes - Meridian Core Control

Thanks again for the suggestions.

I suspect none of us realised that you did not know about Core Control, with it having been available for such a long time.

I do hope that a better iPhone app will subsequently be forthcoming though, so that iPad is not essential for a rich Sooloos experience

I quit the SooloosHelper and it works for a bit then goes into Looking for Sooloos mode.

I am wireless and have had no issues for many years connecting to Control:Mac.

It seems if I close the laptop and then relog in is where the issues are getting back into Control:Mac

While I haven't experienced any Yosemite WiFi issues, it looks like some others have: Wifi issues.

Could this be related to the Control:Mac issue you're seeing?

I would guess an update is on the way.

I thought of that but I'm not having any obvious wifi issues

It seems like my issue is with SooloosHelper but I'm stumped...

Have you checked firewall settings?

Of course. First thing I thought of
Turned firewall off, no difference

Did you also delete the Control:Mac files in library caches?

Yes I ran Control:Mac through a uninstall program and reinstalled it...

And that definitely deleted the library/caches/ControlMac folder?

I just manually deleted them to be sure.

Still Looking for Sooloos...

OK,

I just deleted them again and tried to run the Control:Mac installer but it couldn't find my Sooloos Core, via wifi.

Connected via eithernet and the installer found the Core and installed new cache folders. I'll see how this goes.
