Thanks for the info, considering the amount of money Sirius is paying for Stern I highly doubt they'd allow him to be broadcast for free. My guess is Crystal.net will ultimately receive a cease and desist notice, especially since I know Sirius monitors this thread...
BTW- The plugin doesn't really have any "ongoing" issues, and it's especially easier to configure now that the built-in wma decoding supports playing the streams direct. Of course, you'll still need a server running to at least connect you to the stream initially. -Greg -- GoCubs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GoCubs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=312 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20621 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
