The problem

Multiple Snapcast clients with same hostname, different MAC address.
Attempting to cleanup those manually after they timeout (disabled), but they reappear again, looks like delete is not working.

How to reproduce

• Create multiple Snapcast clients with autodiscovery, same name, different MAC addr.
• This creates multiple entries in MA Players, each unique with its MAC .
• Wait several hours for timeout
• Entries are disabled
• Attempt to delete the Snapcast clients from MA Players, they disappear from the UI, but after reloading website they are still present. Also present in server.json configuration file of Snapserver.

You don’t mention where you are trying to delete them from. HA or MA?

[duhow]

Everything described is in MA .

[OzGav]

MA just shows the players supplied by the snapserver. If they are still present in the Snapweb/Snapclient UI then what you see is to be expected.

Are you deleting them using this menu item in the MA UI?

[duhow]

Yes, I was attempting to delete like that. And it did not work. The file server.json (provided by Snapserver) still contained all the entries.

[OzGav]

Works fine for me. Are you using the MA snapserver? If not try with that.

[duhow]

I am using MA snapserver and had this issue.

You have to delete it from snapcast. snapweb should let you do it, then you can delete it from MA

[duhow]

Being unable to do it via MA sounds like a bug to me.

I thought you were using an external server.
Yes, it seems to be a bug, most probably in the library we use, I would like more time to rewrite all that library, for now it has to wait a little bit.
