Is the "use fallback AP" option checked in Spotty's settings? What spotty helper version are you using?

[nuzzosono]

fallback AP is checked, I'm not using any helper and never used before

[nuzzosono]

unchecking fallback AP did the trick, thanks! I wonder why this happened now, I never changed my configuration in the last years

[michaelherger]

Spotty brings its own helper. You can't do without it 😉. The version should be listed on that same page.

[nuzzosono]

I can see helper for FreeBSD, Raspberry PI and Solaris

[michaelherger]

It's part of Spotty already. Just check the version in Settings/Advanced/Spotty.

[nuzzosono]

this one: /share/MD0_DATA/.qpkg/LogitechMediaServer/SlimServer/Cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/SpottyARMLegacyBin/Bin/spotty (v0.12.2)

[michaelherger]

Ok, I feared this might be the case: that legacy helper doesn't support the "Fallback AP". And without it Spotty might soon stop to work all together... Can you give the one for "Raspberry Pi 0/1" a try? It's available from the plugins list (you listed it above).

[nuzzosono]

I tried both the Raspeberry and the freebds helpers none of them worked. I can disable the fallback AP option. Seems to work that way....
