Installation went well.  Here are a few notes from my install.  You
should mention that that you should save the file locally, edit it for
the server and mac address, then "revisit" the script locally.  

I installed greasemonkey then "revisted" the script on your page
assuming that I would get to edit the user defined parameters upon
install.  It wasn't a problem, just not clear for a first time
greasemonkey user.

I also didn't realize at first that I had to point directly at the
mp.gif to find the altered url. Once that was found and I clicked on
the link, I got the following message:

Code:
--------------------
    403 Forbidden: status.html
  
  In order to request this URL from a Bookmark/Favorite, or some
  means other than following a link from the SlimServer web 
  interface, you will need to use a URL with a \"cauth\" security
  parameter. If you received this error when following a link from
  the SlimServer web interface, you will want to make sure your web
  browser software (including proxy servers and spyware/privacy
  software) is allowing \"Referer\" headers to be sent. Below is
  the appropriate URL for the URL you attempted.
  
  
http://centos:9000/status.html?p2=http%3A%2F%2F209.165.135.138%3A8000%2Flisten.pls&p0=playlist&p1=play&player=00:04:20:04:02:f4;cauth=00ac3b1d2a6b356f3e7b53a8b0a60c65
  
  Because your CSRF protection level is set at 'MEDIUM', you can 
  use the same ";cauth=" value for any URL; this means you should 
  be more careful who you share your URLs with.
--------------------

Once I clicked on the suggested reformatted url my SliMP3 fired right
up. I guess you might need to add a "cauth" security parameter to the
reformatted url, whatever that might be.  Is this something that you
have encountered on your system? I am using CentOS 4.1 (Redhat EL4
based) with Slimserver 6.5 (12/30 nightly) and making the request from
XP SP2 using Firefox 1.5, Greasemonkey 0.6.4.

I was also interested how difficult it would be able to also alter the
urls for WMA and RA/RAM files since these can get transcoded thanks to
AlienBBCs mplayer.sh. Just a thought. 

I have to agree that an extension does get the mind going....

I'll bang on it a little more and let you know how it goes.
