One difference in streaming between past versions and 6.5 is that now (in most cases) the stream is run directly to the squeezebox from the remote server - bypassing the slimserver entirely. This is the same approach as Squeezenetwork has always taken. In previous versions, the slimserver acted as a proxy in the process.
What this means is that the squeezeboxes must have access to the internet, including correctly set DNS and gateway entries, which previously weren't needed unless you were using Squeezenetwork. From the error message, I think this is the case with you. If you're using static IPs make sure the gateway and DNS settings match those on your PC, if you're using DHCP we'd need to investigate why they're not being set properly. This doesn't apply to AlienBBC of course, as the stream needs to go through the server for transcoding in this case. I think you have two seperate issues - (a) AlienBBC just isn't working for some reason and (b) your squeezebox can't see the outside world, so regular radio doesn't work. A sidenote - I've seen several users mystified as to why their streaming radio has suddenly stopped working in 6.5, but it was only by accident that I found out about the change in protocol. To me this is a pretty significant change, as it will cause failures on previously working setups based soley on network topology. I think it would be good to see the change advertised a little more widely. -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=28062 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
