I don't really understand your issue nor which UPNP you are turning off. IIRC Softsqueeze knows nothing about uPNP but if there is a clash of port - obviously it will not work. Here is my understanding of the port usage. I don't think SBS settings affects which port it uses. I think it mau just depend on whether you have a UPNP server up and running on the same system but I'm not sure. If at SBS startup, port 9000 is unavailable, SBS will try 9001 and so on until it finds a port. IIRC When each player broadcasts a requests requesting every SBS to respond - the SBS servers respond with their address and the port to be used. Port 9000 (or whatever) is used to stream the audio data. Port 3483 is used for display and control of the playback including monitoring of the player buffer status. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=62060 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
