Tracks appearing to play for about 10 seconds but no audio and then skipping to the next are classic signs of a firewall problem. I suspect if you run the self test from the settings page then you find it streams ok to the server but not to the player. Assuming so you need to look at the firewall on the server machine to make sure it allows incoming connections to the spotifyd.exe helper app. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79706 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
