This sort of functionality is well outside the design parameters of slimserver which is designed to serve and support slim devices' hardware (SB/transporter) so it's not terribly surprising that such functionality hasn't been built in. It seems a bit beside the point to complain that it's "VERY confusing" when it's not at all what the system was designed for. Slimserver doesn't use "sessions" (which is specific terminology in web software) in the way you mean and the ability for stream.mp3 to support multiple players is extremely limited if not nonexistent (do some searching...there's a good deal of discussion on the issue and the last I saw was that it's essentially not possible -- the type of streaming necessary to run what is essentially a radio station from slimserver is not built in). What you suggest fundamentally differs from the SS paradigm. In Slimserver, players (hardware, software or mp3) do not equate to viewers. That's one of many things that make SS really good at what it's designed for but not so good for what you want to do. -- azinck3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=33543 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
