SlimServer only needs internet access for: 1. Automatic updates (you can turn this off) 2. Internet radio (only if you are pulling streams from Internet radio) 3. Plugins (RSS feeds, weather, etc.) 4. Public SlimServer access if you've chosen to do so.
Item 2, it may query the station for track data even when the Squeezebox is off. Note, the Squeezebox is never really off, it's idle. Item 3, these plugins can be active as sceensavers in any mode, including idle, and even if brightness is set to 0. Item 4, you generally have to go out of your way to do this unless you have no firewall or router. Do you have a firewall or router? If you do have a firewall, you can disallow SlimServer Internet access if you're willing to lose items 1-4. Do not block local network traffic though or your players will stop working. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34922 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
