Snapserver considers two independent devices as 1 #1159

Closed iamhai closed 7 months ago

iamhai commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug I have a snapserver running on armbian and 2 android clients (pixel 4 and pixel 6) connecting to it. But the server considers these two independent devices as 1. When I connect client pixel 4 to the server, client pixel 6 immediately switches to pixel 4. Then when I connect pixel 6 to the server, the connected pixel 4 device switches again to pixel 6. The client list only shows 1 device name.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Reset
  2. Install snapserver on fresh system
  3. Same problem

Environment details OS: Linux armbian 6.1.52-ophub #1 SMP Thu Sep 7 03:11:29 EDT 2023 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux Snapcast version 0.27.0

Attach logfile if applicable Generate logs with snapclient --logfilter debug or snapserver --logging.filter debug if possible and paste them in the following codeblock

Try using the --instance flag

What client are you using on the Android devices? Snapweb? Snapdroid? Every client is expected to identify itself with a unique ID towards the server. Snapclient is usually using the MAC address, but the MAC address of the host cannot be queried on Android, nor from a web client, so they are both creating a uuid on their first start and persist it for future use. You can see the unique client ID's in the client details in Snapweb and Snapdroid (the three dots button next to the client). I guess that you synced your apps and data from the Pixel 4 to the Pixel 6, which will also sync the app-data, and so the Pixel 6 will appear as the same device. You can simply delete the app data for Snapdroid on the Pixel 6, so that Snapdroid will create a new UUID during the next start.
