If SoftSqueeze works, you shouldn't need any other firewall ports (just 9000 and 3483--but make sure 3483 is UDP and TCP. TCP only will work with SoftSqueeze but not Squeezeplay.) I had a problem in Vista with keyboard shortcuts if you didn't run SqueezePlay as administrator. You might also have the problem in XP, which I assume you're running at work. This happened even though I'm an administrator on my desktop. Also, when you install a new build, make sure you not only uninstall the old one but check for files in c:\Program Files\SqueezePlay. I had a bunch of lua files left behind, and it seems if those are inconsistent things don't work, notably audio playback. Also, perhaps unrelated, I had my home IP address change, and I had to reenter it in SqueezePlay, but to get it to actually change it, I had to remove all the application files as above. It'd be nice if you could identify a player by DNS name (I have a dynamic DNS host set up for my home address) Selecting audio playback is now done in Settings/Advanced/Audio Playback/Enable Playback (BETA). Hope something here helps. I'm guessing you either have the UDP port issue or the old install conflict thing going on, since I've seen similar symptoms due to those issues. -- mrfantasy --Mike http://last.fm/user/mrfantasy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mrfantasy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1127 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53047 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
