A large percentage of the time (especially when it is started automatically, like from a command from my watch) Gizmo will hang at "Connecting..." with a cancel button. If I hit cancel and then Go, it connects quickly, and none of the messages in that process are "Connecting...". Is there a way to see why it's getting stuck there? Is this something I can change on the media server end to resolve? I don't see any option in Gizmo to address it.

The drive on the server may need to spin up.

The OS/App drive on the server is SSD. The drives the files are on are spinning disks though, but they never spin down. Would that show in the JRiver logs?
When I manually start Gizmo, it does "Looking up access code" then "Attempting connection to XXXXXX" then "Completing connection". If my connection is spotty, it will go through a cycle of the attempting connection dialogs while it tries different IPs (due to NAT). I only ever see the "Connecting..." dialog when Gizmo is start by a different app/process than me manually touching the icon, and once it is in the "Connecting..." state, it will never resolve until I hit cancel. It seems like it might be taking a different code path when not opened manually?

FYI I've given up on trying to get music to stream to Gizmo automatically when entering the car.

Did you ever try telling MC to cache some songs? It's in the Gizmo settings.

Yes, the issue is that I can't get gizmo to connect to my home server automatically most of the time. So regardless of the state of the cache, it never gets there. :P
