Interesting problem. When requested - slimserver will go to try to look the name up but first it checks if the startup test was successful - if the startup test was not successful, slimserver assumes there is no point in trying again.
Ping and Tracert do not always work because they use some protocol feature which can be blocked/disabled by networks and/or hosts - so if they work then it is useful but if they do not work, you cannot deduce anything as it could be just "ping" that is disabled not the host. The original RealAudio bitrate is not supplied to be read online but BBC uses about 40kbits/sec - not very good as the service was setup to cater for dialup users. Using Flac to SB ensure that is no change to quality when sent to SB3 which would happen if RealAudio was transcoded into MP3. The Danish station menu just make use of AlienBBC framework for menus and web interfaces and parsing Website to get URLs on the fly. Once found, Slimserver knows they are WMA and will choose the appropriate mechanism for the player i.e. native for SB3, Transcode for softsqueeze. IIRC Inside the Dnaish plugins there is the ability to choose which one of 3 stream quality levels the plugin should use. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34765 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
