OK, I take back my earlier comments then. As you can see, support for Internet streaming is not all that advanced yet. Yes, there's no mention that it's designed for a firewalled LAN...but there's no mention it supports Internet streaming either. In fact, the RIAA may have a word or two to say about that. But all the discussion is surrounding how SlimServer controls *your* players, so a LAN is certainly implied. In fact the diagram 'here' (http://www.slimdevices.com/images/connectiondiagram.gif) pretty clearly shows it on the LAN - there isn't even a WAN connection drawn. If you are proficient in Perl, certainly, your assistance would be appreciated. I'm trying to learn it so I can contribute in some way, however small. Most people who have the knowledge to do so use SSH to stream remotely with SlimServer. That makes it impossible for even permitted remote hardware players to connect though. Software players only. BTW I don't know if you tried any of the streams Google found, but none of them work in my Squeezebox3. ;-) I realize that's not because of some hidden security feature but probably due to bandwidth restrictions. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22424 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
