Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Couldn't resolve IP address for: www.bbc.co.uk)
That is probably your static IP. If your router was set up as internal address 192.168.1.1 and was serving IP's via DHCP then the the nslookup response should be along the following lines www.bbc.co.uk Server: unknown Address: 192.168.1.1 Non-authoritative answer: Name: www.bbc.net.uk Address: 212.58.246.95 Aliases: www.bbc.co.uk Your response suggests that in the DNS settings on your PC you have put 80.58.61.250 instead of allowing it to get its settings via DHCP from the router. Can the PC with SB server on it surf the web ? Internet Explorer ? -- d6jg d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86196 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Couldn't resolve IP address for: www.bbc.co.uk)
Hi, Just for awareness though this may have no relevance in your case! SBS requests web data under a unique User Agent header that identifies it as squeezeserver (I cant remember the exact name). Therefore if the BBC decided to drop traffic from older browsers or to offload traffic they dont want to hit their site. They could do so quite easily but your web browser would still work fine. I found this out by chance when writing plugins and had to alter the header to masquerade as IE to be able to hit a website :) (not BBC though) Code: $http-get($url, 'User-Agent' = 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0b; Windows NT 6.0)'); It would affect everyone rather than just you! Your case sounds more like allowing time for ports to clear or timeout before reopening them again. All a little strange. -- cparker www.spicefly.com - Spicefly SugarCube - Taking Squeezebox and MusicIP to the next level. A hassle free non-stop journey through your music library using MusicIP.

I have a feeling it might be a cache or timing issue.(but what do i know!) I performed the NSLOOKUP test again, a few tmes, and sometimes it works as it does when trying to connect to Iplayer.

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 plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Couldn't resolve IP address for: www.bbc.co.uk)
That is nothing to do with the plugin. Assuming you are running SB Server on Windows box - do Start/Run/CMD then press Enter/Return then at the prompt type NSLOOKUP then at the new prompt www.bbc.co.uk and hit Enter/Return. NSLOOKUP queries your given DNS Server - usually your router - if it isn't able to resolve the address then your ISP (to whom your router forwards its requests) is at fault. -- d6jg d6jg's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=44051 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86196 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

Thanks for your reply, this is what I get. www.bbc.co.uk Server: 250.red-80-58-61.staticIP.rima-tde.net Address: 80.58.61.250 *** 250.Red-80-58-61.staticIP.rima-tde.net cant't find www.bbc.co.uk: Server failed Is there anything I can check in the router settings. I received a new router last week but it was the same problem with either router. -- veragooner veragooner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21099 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=86196 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
