Did you added the Slimproto (Squeezebox players) between player providers in MusicAssistant?

Once the Slimproto is added to music providers, and Music Assistant companion app is running, your laptop should be listed between available devices automatically.

This part is not anyhow mentioned in the documentation and I was struggle about this also and thought that the companion app doesn't work correctly.

I've run into a similar issue, started up the Slimproto provider, restarted the companion app however computer doesn't appear in the list of players.
Chromecasts and DLNA devices appear.

Running the BETA, tried the same with the main release.
Tried different ports a few times to rule out any conflict.

Nothing showing up as an error in the logs either.

Not sure what else I can do to troubleshoot.

@Harrisonechris any updates on your side?

Hey @BjornPython, thank you for pinging, I just updated the app and it looks like my desktop was discovered, I'll have to look back through the commits to understand what was preventing the desktop discovery. Admittedly, when I posted it was on V0.0.74.

I'm not entirely sure where else I could be looking to understand the disconnect between the companion app and the server.
