Screen sync only works sometimes about hue-lights HOT 5 CLOSED

Hi @WillZeeee !

First, try to reboot your bridge. Do synchronization from the original hue app works? E.g.: the Spotify sync?

Anyway, seems like an unstable connection to me... not sure. The sync screen uses UDP stream and if there is no data on the bridge for 10 seconds the stream goes automatically off. Please check your router for UDP issues.

Please, provide also the debug log. Go to Settings/Advanced and turn on debug messages. After that, check the extension is connected to the bridge and run this command:
journalctl -f /usr/bin/gnome-shell 2>&1 | grep -i hue > hue-lights.log
While the command is running start the sync screen, wait for the error, and upload the log.

I hardly doubt switching the distro would help, but I will test your distro in my VirtualBox...

I have tried to reboot the bridge many times after trying different fixes on my own bit that did not get me anywhere. I'm considering maybe I have a defective bridge at this point. I don't have Spotify so I cant test that but I did boot up my old windows laptop and everything worked fine from there. Both screen and music sync.

I don't know exactly how to check for UDP issues in my router but I'm looking into it at the moment.

Here is the log you asked for. I first started the sync and let it time out by itself and after that is started it again and turned it off manually and as before the bridge got disconnected.

Thank you. This is not an issue with your bridge... I can reproduce. I will investigate. Please, be patient.
