Other users have reported this too.  It does not seem to happen to everyone 
though as I cannot reproduce it.  So there must be some trick to why it forces 
repairing every time for some users but not others.

This happens when TunesRemote+ attempts to connect to a library with the wrong 
GUID (code). Once it fails to do so, it asks the user to pair again.

Once the pairing is complete, the app will not update the GUID in its pairdb, 
thus it will fail again next time.

Attaching possible patch to fix this issue, tested as working.

Incidentally, this was the result of another issue:
Using two similar devices (2 x Samsung I9100), whenever one pairs with iTunes - 
it  ends up overwriting the other's record in the iTunes DB, thus requiring an 
endless cycle of re-pairing each device.

Had no time to look into this one beyond trying to:
1. Change the 'pair id' from 0000000000000001 to something unique - no go.
2. Change the device/remote name to something unique (both in RemN and 
PAIRING_RAW) - also no go.

Thanks for the patch!  I have applied this and released TR+ 2.4.2 on the 
Android Market.

If all goes well we can close this ticket!

Android updated (although 'About' shows 2.4.1)
But now it is all working fine.. no requirements to re-pair

Thanks
