Title: SONOS IN MC24/25 for Mac - network no longer seen
Post by: clpetersen on February 07, 2019, 10:29:39 pm

Purchased MC25 upgrade, installed MC24 with MC23 still active (2018 iMac).
MC23 sees our entire Sonos network, no troubles. MC24 sees nada.
What am I missing?

Open up your firewall for MC24.

Because the executable name changes from MC23 to MC24, you need to Allow MC24 through the firewall the same way you have for MC23. As your using Sonos, that probably means allowing SSDP, DLNA, as well. I think. I don't have Sonos.

Thank you Roderick.
I disabled the firewall on the router, no effect. MC23 sees the DLNA network (e.g. Sonos and others), MC24 sees nothing.

Also, if I quit MC24, I cannot relaunch it without logging out or restarting. MC23 has no issues.

--> resolved - per the forum re: MC24 crashes, I enabled MC24 in System Preferences/Privacy/Accessibility. MC24 can be relaunched; MC23 did not need this.
--> still no network seen.

Should I remove MC23? or reinstall MC24?

thanks.

Double check your Media Network settings in MC.

Yup. Just did that. Tools/Options/Media Network Enabled.  :)

All Good.

Not the most obvious setting....

Thanks!

MC24 doesn't need that setting. At least not for this issue, I think.

What was more likely was that MC24 was running an Auto Import in the background, or building Thumbnails, so it didn't completely shut down, but was running those processes in the background. I don't have a Mac anymore and don't remember how to do it, but if you looked in the Mac equivalent of Windows Task Manager you would probably have found a MC24 task running in there.

As you didn't have that setting for Media Network set in MC24, it sounds like the upgrade didn't find your MC23 Library, and you didn't find a Library Backup from MC23 and Restore it with Settings selected in MC24. As you have only just upgraded, that is what you should do now, to get all your settings, views, etc. from MC23 in MC24. Just backup MC24 manually first in case something goes wrong, then find the most recent MC23 backup and Restore it.
