UnitiQute Setup Quirks

Posted by: Wazza69 on 28 January 2013

Hi,

 

I am having some odd setup/operational quirks with my new UnitiQute and was wondering if anyone could offer some advice:

 

1) My UQ can access the network OK (hard wired) to play uPnP but cant access the internet to pull through the time or internet radio stations. My macs, work laptop, iphones etc have no problem

 

2) One iPad, one iPhone and QuteControl can all see the UQ and control it. My main iPhone initially says it can't find it but the details come up when you choose setup and you can select it but then it wont come up again

 

3) n-Stream displays art in the album selection and all of the menus etc but does not display the bigger artwork when playing songs.

 

Some details:

UQ - 24/192 with FW 3.17, DHCP

Router - Virgin Media Netgear router + 20meg connection (not the superhub) 

n-Stream - Latest versions

uPnP - Minimserver on Mac

 

Any help would be really appreciated. Many thanks in advance

One small piece -- do not try to connect with more than one copy of nStream at a time.  If you've connected with your iPad, you need to clear that connection before moving to the iPhone, for example.  Otherwise, things get really mixed up and don't connect or work right.  As you said, you can use the Setup feature to find the Qute, but it won't be reliable.  This may be one of your issues.

Thanks Bart. Unfortantly I can't connect with any of my devices now. I can't see he Qute but it doesn't respond. I have tried auto and manual connection with no luck.

 

The strange thing is that QuteControl works perfectly on the Mac in that it is the only thing that can see the UQ and it also shows the art work perfectly.

My experience with Qute Control is that if that is connected, the other devices won't and vice versa.

 

I have also found setting an IP address at the top end of the range and setting on Qute helps avoid confusion for the system.

Thanks PG. Tried both and seems to have cured both the net access and control point issues! Much appreciated I think the cover art is a Minimserver/n-stream issue. Hopefully resolved when ether or both get updated Happy days!
