i've installed the latest release of Jemplode for Mac and it doesn't find my empeg player when I connect it to the computer via USB. And I couldn't find an answer to it in FAQs.
Anyone had the same problem? What should I do?

Jemplode requires ethernet.

Potentially, yes. Please click here for more information.

I usually find I must hardcode the player's IP address onto the "options" for JEmplode. The broadcast method rarely works for me.. dunno why.

Maybe because your household LAN has 20 devices and 8 routers/switches.

Are you using a netmask other than 255.255.255.0? If so, Java's mediocre IP implementation doesn't provide a method of retrieving actual netmasks and jEmplode just hopes that it's 255.255.255.0, IIRC.

Actually, I just (very!) recently changed the netmask to 255.255.0.0 from the original value of 255.0.0.0, and Jemplode seems to be finding the machines now.

BUG: When using both "specific address" and "broadcast" (both checked), it lists the same player twice (the "specific" one).

Cheers

I guess they needed to support things other than just platforms with BSD sockets... but even then, I suppose there are different variants of those ioctls, and some require superpowers on some platforms.

Bleah.

I realize that you're saying this with the second part of your post, but isn't Java supposed to hide platform differences? And, in those cases where the netmask is unobtainable, just have it throw a specific exception. Not too difficult.

It is hiding them, it's always lying to you

Yeah, that's sort of unfortunate that they're going about hiding them the wrong way.
