"DNS Servers Invalid" after patch

[markpedretti]

Working with a Livio Radio. I've followed your instructions here to a T, done the patch and upgraded to Sharpfin 2.1; I can access the radio via web browser, but I can't get anything to come out of it. On startup it complains "Network error: DNS Servers Invalid" when I am on DHCP; I've tried manual IP addresses and using a public DNS server, but no joy. I've installed channels via the web interface, but when they are called on the radio (and I have to get to them via the web interface, not the radio), it just searches endlessly.

Also can't access the "Media Player" that David at Megapico.co.uk references. Any advice?

I had a working Sharkfin install on my Tangent Quattro but when I turned it on a few weeks ago I had the same error "Network error: DNS Servers Invalid"

I’ve just this minute installed Sharkfin on my Tangent Quattro and get the same error when powering it up.  However pressing the preset 1 button twice (having already configured the presets), clears the error and the preset station starts playing.  Configuring the setting as described in the link below, keeps the wifi alive, so you don’t get the error when switching the radio on via the power button. The error will still occur after pulling the power cord, which I can live with.https://github.com/jisotalo/reciva-radio-patching#useful-configs-for-tangent-quattroOn 27.

Thank you braindonor, your solution of pressing the preset button twice works nicely. I will change the setting as well.

Many thanks for the advice, braindonor! I solved my own problem by editing the config file to turn on the media player and UPnP, and yes, the double-click works on my remote for the presets. Still get the DNS error but I'll double-check the settings the next time I Telnet into the box to leave the wifi enabled. Would love to get rid of that error, but at least I'm not alone.

I get the same message on IPdio mini pro. The option to keep the wifi connection live is not working on this HW. So I have to push the back button twice everytime i turn the radio on. Any ideas?

so, I did a little packet capturing.
The radio tries to resolve portal1.7803986842.com, portal2.7803986842.com, ... 3,4,5 ... 16.
those domains aren't registered anymore, so those dns lookups fail.
Workaround: Redirecting the dns request for portal1.7803986842.com to 0.0.0.0
I did this on my local router (pfSense) but it should also be possible to do this in the /etc/hosts file.
This will result in another error "couldn't get station list" (or something like that), but the radio will be much more responsive during this.

Converted my IPdio mini today. Works, but i have the same error after boot/wake the device.

Your tip is nice workaround, thank u! I hope anyone had a fix for this in the future.
