Hello

 

The warning of HQplayer is because the system is logging on "too fast" with the Autologin/Shell Replacement feature.

 

These are valid workarounds:

- Do not use the Autologin feature

- Use a "combo" shell replacement (Roon/HQPlayer for example)

- Update to AO 2.20 Beta 4. The HQP/NAA Shell Replacement of AO 2.20 Beta 4 already has that delay included

 

INFO: The Combo shell replacements are slightly "newer". They have an integrated delay so those kind of network conflicts because of too fast log in will not happen. It's planned to add this delay also on the regular Shell Replacements later on.

 

Best,

AudioPhil

Phil,

 

Thanks for the reply.  I am using b4 and tried the HQP/NAA shell but couldn't.  Don't know why.  Other AO users may try and report.  As long as you know it's a pseudo error  and HQP would fix it few seconds later, it's fine.

You need to copy naa audio deamon exe into the hqp directoy before applying the naa shell replacement.

I see.  Where can I get the naa audio deamon exe?

Hi

 

If you are not using the NAA deamon it is to be expected that the shell replacement does not install.

 

This is a checking feature in ServiceTool, it will not let you configure a shell replacement that would not work in the end.
