Adding this to the firmware would take up a huge amount of space. Maybe that's doable, but at a cost. That cost would be applied against the flexiblity of the device. What might be realistic is to perhaps save the last connected url for direct streaming. If everything went dead, you'd have that last url available. More than that, I'd expect, would require a shift in hardware platform design. -kdf _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/squeezenetwork
