Thanks. I had high hopes. Which took only a few minutes to dash. With the "proxied" setting, I was able to connect to a saved URL that I knew had a good chance of playing directly, and it played for 13 minutes then stopped. Rebuffering did not succeed, it never went past 0% (but there was no interruption in the internet access). I then tried again going to a Shoutcast playlist URL - by doing a search in the Shoutcast directory for Ambient Psy, then choosing Digitally Imported Ambient Psy. If I understand this correctly (based on what I see both with Winamp and with HexRadio on Roku), this connects to a sort of virtual playlist of streams that the player then cycles through looking for one to connect to. Both Winamp and HexRadio usually settle for about the 8th or 9th on the list - SS/SB3 simply sits there saying "Checking Stream" for as long as I have my Station timeout set (I even increased it to 90 secs), but does not initiate a play. This is actually an improvement or at least change, it used to come back with an "Error getting playlist" most of the time before. I tried again using the URL (http://205.188.215.228:8006) plucked from winamp's successful play display. Played for another 10 minutes or so then stopped, rebuffering went as far as 4% though. (Not quite enough!). Tried to play the URL again. This time SS crashed - locked up. had to stop the service and restart it. Overall I would say we have change, but this does not really constitute a solution for me. Winamp and HexRadio continue to work without a problem. -- jamullian ------------------------------------------------------------------------ jamullian's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9452 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31359 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
