squeezer successfully connects to lms, but media files and players fail to show up

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. start squeezer
2. let the app connect to the server

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The app successfully identifies the squeezebox server and connects, but no 
media files are displayed - also no players are found. Strangely the official 
Logitech Squeezebox app works without any apparent problem. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Behaviour is the same both using 1.0.1 on cyanogenmod 10.2 (Android 4.3, Galaxy 
S3) and an Ainol aurora tablet running android 4.0.3

Also using different LMS versions makes no difference: Logitech Media Server 
V7.7.2 or 7.8 using standard ports 9000/9090

Please provide any additional information below.

To be fair, the fact that this seems to impact both your devices does imply 
this is something to do with your LMS or your network. 
What platform does LMS run on?
How large is your library?
Does the standard web interface work for you?

Thank you for your answer. I agree, it might have sth to do with my network, 
but I still find it unlikely (what can can I do to debug?). I am running LMS on 
Openelec 3.2.4. The library consists of ~23000 songs. The standard web 
interface and the official logitech app for android are working fine.

I'll be happy to try to help you with this.

To make sure I understand the problem correct, could you post a screenshot 
showing that Squeezer identifies the server and connects.

Also a screenshot of the playerlist (which is empty), and the now playing 
screen please.

Is Squeezer able to find ANY content on the server 
(albums/song/artist/musicfolder/...)?

Is the LMS password protected?
To check this, select settings in the web-interface, select the Advanced tab, 
select security in the dropdown.

Finally if you feel comfortable using a command line, and have the telnet 
program installed you can debug like below (if not just skip this).

1 Open a command prompt/shell
2 Issue this command: telnet 192.168.1.1 9090
   Substituting 192.168.1.1 with the ip address of the computer LMS is running on, i.e. the address Squeezer identifies.
3 If the telnet connection succeeds, the response should be something like:
   Trying 192.168.0.13...
   Connected to ts119PII.
   Escape character is '^]'.
4 Issue this command: players 0 10
5 Response shoudl look like this:   players 0 10 count%3A3 playerindex%3A0 
playerid%3A00%3A04%3A20%3A28%3Ae9%3Ae0 uuid%3A0ed0c81c1d1be8fe7f9e01710ebf9c66 
ip%3A192.168.0.106%3A41843 name%3AValdemar model%3Ababy isplayer%3A1 
displaytype%3Anone canpoweroff%3A1 connected%3A1 playerindex%3A1 
playerid%3A00%3A04%3A20%3A17%3A71%3Aa5 uuid%3A7dd72e0516c7376a8d619d1f847abc6f 
ip%3A192.168.0.120%3A32149 name%3AStue model%3Areceiver isplayer%3A1 
displaytype%3Anone canpoweroff%3A1 connected%3A1 playerindex%3A2 
playerid%3A00%3A04%3A20%3A26%3Ad5%3A8a uuid%3A62f7f5bd7ac7169882c715eafdb7ceba 
ip%3A192.168.0.102%3A50438 name%3Aspisestuen model%3Ababy isplayer%3A1 
displaytype%3Anone canpoweroff%3A1 connected%3A1

In this example there is 3 players.

This is the same way Squeezer connects, and a similar command to get the player 
list, sp of these commands succeeds, Squeezer should be able to work correct.
