Yes, it should be Ok. (But I am wondering why it was necessary for you to change it in the first place, since 1900 is the official port of UPnP, so this could be a sign that you do have something else blocking the comms...) csimon;574606 Wrote: > To open up port 31415, I guess I have to go into Windows Firewall and > open up TCP port 31415?

If the setup worked Ok, then in Windows Firewall, you should see an entry for Whitebear Application and Whitebear Service, and they both should be checked. If you don't see them, you need to add those applications by hand (Add Program | Browse for the Exe...) csimon;574606 Wrote: > To be honest, finding a control point that is not buggy is extremely > difficult!

Of course, if software writers would submit their products to DLNA.ORG for official certification tests, then things would be much better. But the problem is that this is very expensive, so most people (like me) prefer to reverse engineer it. Which means making assumptions about the standard that may or may not be officially correct... csimon;574606 Wrote: > I will try to have a go with WMP12 to see if that will work in my > system.

IMHO WMP12 is very nice; whereas Asset Control is still rather work-in-progress... -- AndrewFG Regards, AndrewFG http://www.whitebear.ch/mediaserver ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AndrewFG's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=15838 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80632 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
