Yes, Live365 is now a SN-based service; it is used to provide the menus of stations and handle the now playing information. SN maintains a database of current Live365 stations so your SlimServer does not have to talk directly to Live365 and can get the list of stations much faster. It should be much more reliable than the previous Live365 plugin. Playback always occurs directly between you and the station, SN is not involved in that except to get the now playing track info. Please let me know if you have any problems with it. _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
