Parameter switch to prevent discovery mode

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,

it seems that squeezelite will automatically switch to auto-discovery mode, if 
the HOST is not reachable (e.g. if startet at boot but network not ready).

This will become a trouble when more than one mediaserver is present within the 
network.

Best Regards

If the host is an IP address then it will continue to try to connect to it.  If 
it is a dns name then it only trys to do a lookup once and if there is no 
response it will fall back to probing for a server.

Well, e.g:

192.168.99.99 being a valig host

if I do

  squeezelite 192.168.99.01

squeezelite still connects to the valid server .99. This is why I thought the 
fallback to discovery mode is always done if no connection to host is possible. 
I have not looked at the source code, but I can repeat the stated example and 
squeezelite connects all the time.

please try with "-d slimproto=debug" before the ip address to see what it is 
doing
