Directory servers problems ?!

[pcar75]

There is one or more problems with the directory server of Any Genre 1, 2 and 3.
This is the 2nd time in the last 2 weeks that I cannot reach certain jamulus servers.
The servers show up in explorer.jamulus.io (Jamulus Explorer) : 38 servers listed in Any Genre 2.
But with the Connect button or Connection Setup, only 22 servers are listed for Any Genre 2.
I've stop/restarted the app., rebooted and hard-rebooted my tower and even my router and I still get this problem.
As other users confirmed having experienced similar problems in the last year , what gives ?!?!

Out of curiosity, I checked other directories to make sure it was only related to Any Genre 2 directory server, but to my surprise it is not. I have the same problem for other genres ?!?!

Short of trying to find a pattern between servers seen by one and not the other facility, I don't see how to resolve this problem.
