Active known issues
Wi-Fi server is visible but does not connect
Status: Fix in progress for MetaGrid Pro 1.7.4
Affected: Confirmed with MetaGrid Pro 1.7.3, Windows 11 host over Ethernet, and iPads over Wi-Fi
Symptoms: MetaServer is visible in the computer picker, but automatic reconnect and explicit Wi-Fi selection may fail to start a connection.
Workaround: USB may remain available in some setups. If Wi-Fi selection does nothing, attach a MetaGrid Pro support package and MetaServer logs to the existing topic.
Discussion: Connectivity Improvements in 1.7.3
USB recovery after returning from another iPad app
Status: Investigating
Affected: Reported during MetaGrid Pro 1.7.3 testing; current production-version confirmation is requested
Symptoms: USB may reconnect slowly after MetaGrid Pro returns to the foreground, or remain unavailable until MetaServer restarts. Automatic Wi-Fi fallback may not occur.
Workaround: Manually selecting Wi-Fi may restore the connection. Capture logs before restarting MetaServer.

Status: Fix and verification in progress for MetaGrid Pro 1.7.4
Affected: MetaGrid Pro 1.7.2–1.7.3 with Mac sleep, display sleep, screen saver, or Lock Screen workflows
Symptoms: MetaGrid Pro on iPad or Mac may not return to its normal screen after the Mac wakes.

AI Builder navigation can be hidden by Bluetooth keyboard controls
Status: Scheduled for MetaGrid Pro 1.7.4
Affected: iPad with a Bluetooth keyboard; confirmed on MetaGrid Pro 1.7.1 and later testing
Symptoms: The predictive-text or keyboard shortcut bar can cover the AI Builder Next control after typing.
Workaround: Temporarily disable the iPad keyboard shortcut/predictive control bar or dismiss the keyboard before continuing.

iPad wired-Ethernet-only connection is not discovered
Status: Confirmed; no release target announced
Affected: iPad connected only through a wired Ethernet adapter
Symptoms: Other local-network apps work, but MetaGrid Pro does not discover or connect to MetaServer. Enabling iPad Wi-Fi allows connection.
Workaround: Keep Wi-Fi enabled when using MetaGrid Pro.
Discussion: LAN connectivity?
MetaServer Windows shows an Ethernet address under the Wi-Fi label
Status: Fix planned for MetaServer Windows 6.0.4
Affected: MetaServer Windows 6.0.3 on computers with Ethernet and Wi-Fi interfaces
Symptoms: The status screen can display an Ethernet IPv4 address under the Wi-Fi label.
Workaround: Confirm the active interface and address in Windows network settings.

Cubase Selected Channel persistence requires verification on Windows
Status: Needs verification
Affected: MetaGrid Pro 1.7.3, MetaServer Windows 6.0.3, and Cubase 15
Symptoms: The Selected Channel MIDI Remote surface may disappear or become inactive after restarting Cubase. The plugin-list timeout path was fixed in MetaServer Windows 6.0.3, but persistence still needs confirmation.
Workaround: Reinstall or reload the Selected Channel integration and confirm that the current bundled script is installed.
Discussion: [Needs Verification] Cubase 15 + MetaGrid Pro Selected Channel not persisting / plugin list not loading (Windows 10)
Ableton Remote Script installation with a custom User Library
Status: Confirmed; under review
Affected: MetaServer Mac 6.1.2 when Ableton’s User Library is stored outside the default location
Symptoms: MetaServer installs the Remote Script under the default User Library, so Ableton does not offer MetaGrid Pro as a control surface.
Workaround: A symbolic link from the default Ableton User Library path to the configured external library works; a Finder alias does not.
