Good question, Grant - I’ll go out and look at it. It’s a very long (100 ft I think) flat ethernet cable that goes through a door - it might have gotten pinched. If it’s broken I hope I can fix it, or maybe it’s time to go solar :) 

If I can’t figure it out I’ll message you off-list. Thanks!

Hi Mike

Are you running the streambox via Power over Ethernet, so effectively powering it off and on each time?

Or are you just dis and re connecting the data?

I guess it was running as expected until recently. Maybe suspect a physically damaged ethernet cable. If there is a cut or break in the cable, I have found it can work intermittently before it finally fails.

Happy to help troubleshoot off-list too is that could be useful

To make it respond i’ve been unplugging and re-plugging the ethernet cable from my router; the box starts responding again instantly, almost like it was running the whole time but not talking to my router. So I suspect it’s a simple fix - any thoughts? Maybe just re-install the Pi?
