    Default Mezzmo forgets networked devices / settings

    I have 3 devices connected to a single WAP, a PS3 XBOX360 and a Television.
    The problem I am having is that mezzmo will create a correct profile for the viera but once the ps3 or xbox is turned on its IP address will replace the correct one originally listed for the viera.

    Example: Veria -> 192.XXX.XX.110
    PS3 -> 192.XXX.XX.120
    static ips.

    Setup profile for the ps3 everything works great. Power off the ps3, turn it on again mezzmo says its IP is ...XX.110 (TV)

    Mezzmo appears to only see 1 device at a time connected to the WAP, but I need independent profiles.

    I hope I explained this well enough.

    Thanks,
    Steve

    Steve,

    Do you have a bridge on your network by any chance? If you do, then that could be causing this issue, since bridges tend to present a single MAC address to the rest of the network, and Mezzmo cannot distinguish which device is actually trying to talk to it.

    Also, are you using the latest v2.4.2?

    Thanks for the quick reply Dennis.
    To address your questions, I am running v2.4.2.0 and the router is setup as a client bridge.
    However, the primary router can see the mac addresses of each connected device from the client bridge.

    Can you please tell me if the IP/MAC addresses in the Media Devices dialog are all unique, or are any of those the same?

    The IP address changes which each device that comes online but the MAC remains the same. The MAC its sees is wireless MAC from the client router.

    If the IP changes, then that would explain why settings are lost (if the MAC is the same for all three devices, e.g. is the MAC of your router). Do you have a setting to let the MAC addresses through the bridge, I think some routers will let you do that? Also, perhaps switching to static IPs will help.

    The IP's are static essentially (dnsmasq). I will have to check on MAC forwarding.

    i have exactly the same problem, tried to get around it by setting all devices accessing mezzmo via the bridge to use static IP addresses, but it did not help.

    An IP is not enough to identify a device, we also need its MAC address and if the bridge is providing its own MAC for all devices, then this is where these troubles start. We'll be doing some more investigations on whether we can go around the bridge and get the real MAC address (not sure if it's technically possible yet), but if your bridge allows MAC forwarding, then try turning that on and it should fix the issue.

    Another possible solution would be to have a check box in Mezzmo to identify devices only by the IP, which you would manually turn on in such cases. This would require using static IPs, but could be a solution.
