Since the iOS8 updates my Apple devices (2 iPhones, 2 iPads, iPod) were behaving the same as others mentioned in this thread with the "i" issue but now with the 8.1 update NONE of my Apple devices will even connect to my Ensemble. This includes my older iPod on 5.xx. They all "search for the Core" but instead of eventually stopping and allowing me to manually enter the IP they simply keep searching or stop leaving a blank Sooloos screen.
However, all my computers (wired PC's, iMac and wireless Macbook Pro) using Control:PC or Control:Mac (I use both) work just fine so it certainly seems as though the problem is directly tied to the APP for these devices.
Restarting the unit, no difference, unit is identifiable via my router, everything seems to be fine.
This is interesting as I have the exact opposite issue... my phone (6) and iPad connect to my Sooloos just fine however Control:Mac on my MacBook Pro running Yosemite cannot fine my Sooloos. Parallels running on the same machine connects with Control:PC with no issues... very frustrating as I used to use Control:Mac all the time.
