    It will not pop up on the iPhone when not used for a some hours.
    If I reboot the Raspberry or restart shareport via the web interface it shows up in the iPhone again. I have tested on 2 different PI’s, an A with a ethernet cable and an A + with wifi dongle and fresh images (updated to the latest version via the GUI)
    Squeezebox and the web GUI is working so the device is not in any sleep mode e.g. and I can see the shareport process running if I logon with ssh.
    Anyone else have the same problem?

    Du you use Shairport and Squeezelite at the same time, and if so, do you use a I2S sound card? If you tick off the autostart on Squeezelite, it might solve your problem. Please also make sure have expanded the filesystem beforehand so you have more than 50 percent of your system free memory.

    No.. I use the internal analog jack of the Pi.. no HDMI attached.
    I tried to expand the filesysten, same issue.

    However, I snooped around in the log files after it disappeared from the iPhone and found this in deamon.log:

    First the startup: (I named it Kitchen)
    Sep 13 20:34:01 Kitchen avahi-daemon[2180]: Joining mDNS multicast group on interface wlan0.IPv4 with address 192.168.0.104.
    Sep 13 20:34:01 Kitchen avahi-daemon[2180]: New relevant interface wlan0.IPv4 for mDNS.
    Sep 13 20:34:01 Kitchen avahi-daemon[2180]: Registering new address record for 192.168.0.104 on wlan0.IPv4.

    Then after a while:
    Sep 13 20:58:12 Kitchen avahi-daemon[2180]: Invalid response packet from host 192.168.0.114.
    Sep 13 20:58:12 Kitchen avahi-daemon[2180]: Invalid response packet from host 192.168.0.114.

    Sep 13 22:04:31 Kitchen avahi-daemon[2180]: Withdrawing address record for 192.168.0.104 on wlan0.
    Sep 13 22:04:31 Kitchen avahi-daemon[2180]: Leaving mDNS multicast group on interface wlan0.IPv4 with address 192.168.0.104.
    Sep 13 22:04:31 Kitchen avahi-daemon[2180]: Interface wlan0.IPv4 no longer relevant for mDNS.
    ….
    Sep 14 22:08:06 Kitchen avahi-daemon[2310]: Invalid response packet from host 192.168.0.114.
    Sep 14 22:08:07 Kitchen avahi-daemon[2310]: Invalid response packet from host 192.168.0.114.
    Sep 14 22:08:08 Kitchen avahi-daemon[2310]: Invalid response packet from host 192.168.0.114.
    Then silence from the avahi-daemon in the log.

    192.168.0.114 is a my wife’s Windows 10 machine..
    I also saw the same log entries from another IP that is my sons gaming computer.. also running Windows 10.
    I have a Windows 7 and Macbook but there are no „Invalid packets“ from their IP-adresses.

    I can not pinpount that it stopped working right at 22:08 or 22:04 e.g., I was watching the latest episode of Fear the Walking Dead but it worked before and afterwards it did not (approx. 22:28 and an episode is about 45 minutes)
    It is probably something bad that Windows 10 does to the service discovery on the max2play pi.
    I will shut the Win 10 PC down, restart the shairport deamon and see if it still working in the morning.

    It seems in your log, that your WiFi-Stick is causing the problem („Withdrawing address record for 192.168.0.104 on wlan0.“). Please try using a LAN cable connection to be sure. If you still want to use Airplay , please install the plugin shairtunes2 for the Squeezebox Server to use it for AirPlay.

    Well, the log is from a A+ (no LAN interface) so it will be a little difficult.
    It still dont explain why my other Pi (an A) with only a LAN cable have the same problem.. after about the same time.
    I dont see the „Withdrawing address“ message for eth0 on my version A.

    The odd thing is that it has been working since I powered off the Windows 10 machine after my last post even though my wife booted it again next evening. I still have those „avahi-daemon: Invalid response packet from host“ in the logs on both Pies when her computer is on but it is still working.
    Both Raspberrys have been up since then, I dare not restart them.
    I replicated the crach/hang/disable/e.g behavior at least 10 times before posting it here.

    It seems like your Windows 10 PC is causing those problems. Did the crashes ever happen when this PC was not active in your network?
