Add Manual IP Dialog closes on its own

[motoridersd]

I run my Sonos speakers on a separate VLAN, and even though most of my services can find them across VLANs sthrough PIMD and Avahi, this app cannot.

No biggie, I just need to add the speaker IPs manually. Unfortunately, when I try to use the Developer - Add IP Manually option, I see the dialog pop up but it disappears right away.

Where can I edit this manually in a config file? I was able to export the settings but I don't see what the app is expecting this value to be in order for me to import it. I was unable to find where in the snap files this is saved.

Is there an easy way to do it without the app?

Right now a config file entry is not possible. The menu option should not just vanish though. What OS/desktop/environment are you using?

[motoridersd]

I'm on Pop!_OS 20.10, which runs Gnome 3.38.1

[quamok]

new user here, fresh install. I Have the same issue. The popup quickly flashes then disapear. Running Linut Mint latest version.

[PiperKev]

Same issue here, running Linux Mint 20. The IP Address window pops up, then disappears.

The library I use for this is https://github.com/p-sam/electron-prompt. I'll file an issue.

I'm experiencing the same issue on Opensuse Tumbleweed running Sway.

[adamcstephens]

I've confirmed this on both the RPM and the appimage.

Running the repo in develop mode works as expected and allows entry through the popup.

How do I run it in develop mode?

(I'm on openSUSE Leap 15.2. and have downloaded the AppImage.)

Sorry, I thought this is obvious, You will need to clone the code repository and execute the commands inside that directory. The AppImage is a packaged up artefact.

I have the same problem on Ubuntu 20.04 Also latest version (0.2.3) doesn't find the system even if firewall is disabled. I had to install 0.2.1 to connect.

Thank you, I have now managed to get it to work :-)

openSUSE doesn't know gh, so I had to download the zip. (I know this is nothing to do with your project, just a note.)

Do I always have to start it from terminal with "npm run develop" or is there a way to get it into the application launcher? I'd prefer not to have yet another terminal window lying around. Every time I start it with "npm run develop" it again keeps searching for my Sonos system and doesn't find it so I have to add the IP manually. Is there a way to get it to remember this IP?

[pascalopitz]

@bobfredarctor There was a problem with the build artefact. I have yanked and re-published v0.2.3 ... should load okay now.

As for the IP dialog: Yep, reproducing it as well now, but only in a generated artefact.

Both IP dialog and connection works with latest release now.

[motoridersd]

Awesome. Can confirm this works for me too. Once the controller finds one speaker via manual IP, it can talk to all others on a separate VLAN
