If I have one empeg on one connection then why do I have to hit ok at the player selection screen?

Because it's still searching for other devices. You might not be able to see the little waggling flashlight animation any more, but it's still searching.

Remember, Emplode is going to be used for other products other than the car player. Even if it weren't, you might have more than one player plugged in. The point is that some people might see several different things on that screen, and they don't always appear instantly. Emplode has no idea how long it will take for product x to respond to the ethernet broadcast messages, so there's no point when it can confidently stop searching and assume that you've only got one device.
