Companion and redundancy problems

Hi!

I am having issues with companion connection to both A and B playback computers. It seems to be able to connect to both defined in the Host IP (192.168.1.120,192.168.1.125) But when either of the defined hosts disconnects, it also loses control of the other host. So not really working for redundancy.

The same thing happens for remote connection from an iPad. I go to 192.168.1.120, and I can see that it has connected to 2 hosts, but if “main” host crashes, it will not maintain connection to the remaining host (192.168.1.125). Is there a way to define both host IP’s for real redundancy?

I am on 2.7.2.

Companion Pi version 3.4.4

Best, Tor

Hey @Tor_Bach_Kristensen, thank you for reporting these issues, and please excuse my late reply!

To troubleshoot this, could you try to reproduce the issue with Companion and then send me a support bundle of your Companion instance? You can create one in the logs tab:

I’m looking forward to your reply!

Regarding the issue with your iPad, could you try to send me a video of it when it happens again? :slight_smile:
