Made a post about this issue. Settings\>Advanced\>Remote Control\>Allow player to be controlled…

For me this option toggles to off when I start up my iMac and may be attributed to the incoming ethernet connection (port forwarding related)?

> Love the product! I’m using the desktop player on an iMac (10.13.6) using Ethernet over PoE. The remote control option (allow player to be controlled by other devices) keeps resetting to the off position each time I start my computer. Is there a reason for this and what change could I test to fix the issue (basic network config settings etc). Thanks
