And, just to follow up on something specific that I'd said earlier: "B) Second, trying the region-restricted sports commentaries on R4LW - using NordVPN: LMS BBC App worked for R4LW" I did that several times, keeping careful notes! With the NordVPN active, there was a route to an region-restricted BBC sports stream, via LMS's own app. But *not* via the iPlayer Squeezebox App. In a sense, no big deal. I could nevertheless get - from non-UK - region-restricted sports stuff via LMS' own BBC App, or via their generous YouTube feed. But I've been a Triode BBC iPlayer guy from way back when.... And that's what I thought would work (but didn't) Cheers, AGB AGB Logitech Media Server Version: 7.7.6 - 1521467459 @ Thu Mar 29 16:46:01 WEDT 2018 Operating system: Windows 10 Music Library: external SD, exFAT (FLAC music; mp3 voice) USA: LinkSys WRT54GS Router, WPA2 1 x Touch, LAN (Firmware:7.7.3-r16676) Controller: 7.7.2-r9663 France: Sagem Livebox 2FR, or Freebox 1 x SB3, wireless.
