Olive Remote is a local remote, not a repair tool. It cannot revive a server that does not boot or recover a failed drive.
02
Start with the symptom.
Use the non-destructive checks first. Olive Remote can restore local control when a compatible server still responds; it cannot repair failed hardware or recover a damaged disk.
Stuck on “Waking Up”
Separate a display, network, or startup failure before factory recovery, firmware, or disk changes.
Use the startup decision treeProtect or recover the library
Preserve the original drive and backups before attempting filesystem repair, reinstall, or migration.
Review the recovery paths01
Simple by design
The controller stays close to the hardware and keeps personal music data off the internet.
Find the server
SSDP discovery first, followed by a conservative private-subnet check limited to known ports and paths.
Browse and play
Browse the verified library interface and expose only controls backed by current hardware evidence.
Stay private
Addresses, request history, in-app diagnostic exports, and library metadata remain on your device or local computer unless you explicitly choose to share an export.
COMPATIBILITY
Evidence before promises.
Olive Remote has been tested with physical O4HD and O6HD hardware. Behavior can still vary by firmware, and other models remain evidence-gated until they are safely observed.

WHY NOT RUN THE REMOTE HERE?
The public site is a front door—not a cloud relay.
These servers use local HTTP. Modern browsers intentionally block a public HTTPS page from silently reaching private HTTP devices. Use the native iOS or Android app, or clone the repository and run the local proxy for development. This boundary keeps your library and server traffic inside your network.
