Hi Phil, I have been thinking deeply about this. If you choose to set up Squeezebox Server to require authentication of clients that is your choice. But given your requirement for authentication it is certainly not the role of the middleware (in this case Whitebear) to try to circumvent the authentication scheme by interpolating itself between the client and the server. Therefore I decided that will NOT add such proxy/authentication server capability to Whitebear. If you want your UPnP Control Points to download the artwork (and also MP3 streams) from Squeezebox Server, then you must ensure that the UPnP Control Point client provides the necessary credentials on its own behalf. I have tested it with Windows Media Player, and at least this client does have the capability to provide credentials and authenticate itself against Squeezebox Server. However, I am pretty sure that you will find that some of the UPnP Control Points out there do not have that capability. However, notwithstanding the abopve, I have posted a new version of Whitebear on my web site that fixes the other authentication related issues that you mentioned in your earlier e-mail. (Such as the 5 character limit, and the socket error). -- 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=82399 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
