Don't believe the BBC is doing this - they did ask for useragent information to count our usage, but not sure they are actually counting at present. For this specific problem I would restart the server and check you router/isp connection (probably reconnect them to reset any dns server info). This is not a problem with the plugin, but with how squeezebox server gets the address information. -- Triode ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86196 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
