Likely this issue, easy to workaround.

You are absolutely right! Thanks so much for your help and assistance.

I changed the name of the MacBook Pro to something with less than 20 characters and like magic, the application opened and displayed on the top menu bar - fantastic .... but ........ Linn Kazoo can't find the MacBook (it's on) and is constantly "Searching for room"

I also have Linn Kinsky installed on the Mac and that now works perfectly with the OpenHome Player. Superb!

Obviously Kazoo would be preferable because it has the search facility.

Any suggestions as to how to get Kazoo to locate the Mac (find room)?

All sorted!!!!!

Appears that Kazoo was still only recognising the "room" re the Naim Streamer and was searching for 'other rooms'.

By ignoring the apparent endless wait to locate the MacBook 'room', I simply clicked on the Naim 'room' and Kazoo produced a drop down box - which miraculously displayed my Mac 'room' - selected and sorted!

Probably a bug in Kazoo, which seems to endlessly search, even though it's actually already found it, but not indicated so! (e.g. "new room found", or in my case ... "MacBook found" etc)

Everything is now working perfectly, with FLAC files on the NAS being transcoded to WAV and streamed to my MacBook using MinimServer/MinimStreamer and playing via OpenHomePlayer/Linn Kazoo .... Brilliant!!

Thanks Simon for a fantastic product and support (as always) and also to bubbleguuum (advice re the 20 character Mac name etc)

Now, is there something similar that I can setup on my iPhone and iPad to play the FLAC files (transcoded to WAV) stored on my NAS (MinimServer/Streamer)?
