Is there any trick to get HySolid to recognize the Android remote?

 I'm now on to another phase in my quest for better sound. Currently, I have HQPlayer running through my newly built 12 core computer w/ JCat XE. I believe it is about the best I've heard my system sound. I'm experimenting, as we must, with different players and associate software. I've tried JRiver, Audirvana, foobar, JPlay, and a couple of one- person designed apps that are no longer supported (and I couldn't install.) I got HySolid to install, I don't think it has been well supported since at least 2018 or so, but I noticed several people who use it and say it is their #1 choice. Can't tell 'till you try, so I also downloaded the Android companion app that is supposed to be the remote control for the HySolid. When opened, it simply says "can't connect to WiFi". Problem is there is virtually no application on the computer that includes settings, status, or any GUI of any type. Just a dialog box opens that asks for the directory where your music is installed. Once you point the right folder, it tells you to use the remote to play music and it closes. The remote can't find a connection, as mentioned. So there is no way to even try it out. Is there a way anyone has found to fix the "no connection" error or is HySolid even worth the trouble, should I just move on?

Thanks kelvinwsy. 

  I'm not an Apple guy, so I don't have any IOS products lying around. I'm going to try to reinstall it tonight because I re- read their site and there were a couple of screens in the install process that I did not see come up on my install. I'm using regular Windows 10 Home. But I know from lurking around different sites this seems to be a common problem and unfortunately there is no support for the app that I know of.

Hi kelvinwsy, 

  Yeah, I double- triple checked. Same network. Router is 10 feet away. Used the same 5G connection on both. When I uninstalled the remote app on my Android devices (phone and tablet), nowe when I reinstall it flashes momentarily and closes- on BOTH devices! So, I gave up on it. Maybe some day the developer will restart work on his app that usually gets high praise. I'm back to HQPlayer with the third party remote app I posted somewhere in this thread. I don't think there is much that can beat it, sound quality wise. But what fun is it if we don't keep trying...

Don't use Samsung devices. It works perfectly with many other Android devices.  I have been using it for over couple of years from Motorola phones and Fire tables and it works like a charm same way it does work on iOS devices.

 

@Gator01I too have a PC with JCAT XE Network and USB.  I tried everything you listed (JRiver, Audirvana, foobar, JPlay) and many more.  Hysolid is complete different and it sounds great over every other player we spend a lot on.  Yes, there is no support and sometimes may be frustrating to find files in folder but definitely I would not recommend spending money on softwares unless you have a special need beyond local file playback. Hysolid and Foobar are the softwares I settled with.
