Was up late last night and happened to see the update. I’m a glutton for punishment, so avoided my own advice to wait on new firmware and let others be QA. Ugh.
Update went through but not success streaming. Did a factory reset, several reboots/power cycles. Then, firmware showed another update, so, again I did. PMG hung in update mode for a long time. Backed out somehow and it was more troubleshooting. Firmware appeared to only partially load, which I was keyed into by the PMG’s settings for “Version”. The “NMS:” line that should show “2.1.1f3db7” was blank. I assume NMS is the code for the streamer??? Many reboots, factory reset and finally another update brought it back.
From there, the PMG streamer would show on-line, I could see it on my network and, ultimately, in Roon. Roon appeared to be streaming but nothing actually playing on the PMG. Discovered in Roon under the “Audio” configuration there were 2 selections for my PMG; “AirPlay2” and “AirPlay”. AirPlay was in a previous firmware a few weeks back. Confused and remembered a post re. AirPlay vs Airplay2. Since AirPlay was back I disabled AirPlay2. Another reboot of PMG and Roon and AirPlay2 disappeared from Roon.
Then, noticed my network may have changed the PMG’s IP address from 192.168.1.116 to 114. Not positive but reason enough to believe my router may be confused? Rebooted my router and I was back in business. Have been streaming for 10’ish hours and no dropouts.
All this to say….reboot your router. The PMG seems finicky when negotiating the network and may require this to get a good handshake with the network.
Edit to add…multiple reboots of Roon software on my PC and ROCK, too.
