Title: FPP Connect can"t find Pi Player (FPP)
Post by: ljbud on October 03, 2023, 09:30:50 PM

When launching Xlights' FPP-Connect from my Win11 PC, my Pi Player does not show up on the upload page. I can access the FPP on the network via the FPP webpage.  Another pc does connect via the Xlights FPP-Connect but it has issues and is not my workhorse pc. So it seems to be something with my pc or software setting. I also tried re-installing Xlights. I have the 2023.25 version installed. FPP version:  4.6.1  Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks, Larry

You need to update FPP to at least 6.3, although 7.1 would be preferred.   4.6 is way to old at this point.

I will do that but with it working on one machine and not the other I wonder what the difference is.
I guess I need to ask how to update FPP The upgrade button just kept my version the same.
Is re-imaging the best way?

Got 7.1 installed and it fixed my connect issue.
Thanks Daniel
