I can't be sure - IRC the message text is generated by the OS as a
result of an error code returned by the network drivers. Is it "local
host" or "localhost" ?
I'm not sure it matters that much as the problem only manifests itself
for a few users which means it is probably a system setup issue rather
than a plugin code one.

Depends on the player and your setup. In Ireland we do not have Spotify
or Wimp so I can only guess.
For Touch players with default settings using http - then radio station
with AAC and MP3 play directly from station to player with a separate
back channel of program info going from player to LMS. OGG streams will
also play direct.
I don't know what happens in Wimp or Logitech Spotify.  With Triode
Spotify I believe there is a propriatery protocol which means Spotify
sends to LMS, LMS decoes and sends audio stream (OGG I think) to player.

Anything (that inlcudes ISPs traffic shaping, routers, firewall, network
optimisiing s/w, virus/trojan checkers, traffic monitors, proxy servers,
etc.) that can examine/stop/delay/change a packet coming from station to
player or LMS

Some security s/w needs to be uninstalled to check if it is at fault as
otherwise the s/w may still be handling packets.

I only suggested the change for BBC plugin.
