Leave the thread because the explanation you gave abouu "out of date"

the URLs were from an older verison of the plugin you'd get other errors

If you haven't got the expansion board given to beta testers there is

One issue with a receiver is that users have tended to hide it away or

display.
Signal is never great if a receiver is placed behind an amp or at back
