I haven't gotten an updated version of Squeezelite in a while, but after updating today, I'm getting an error: "ignoring mac address from hardware player range 00:04:20:**:**:**". I see the code that's specifically excluding the mac range. I can't find a change log as to why it's doing so.
1. faking MAC addresses is a bad thing. MAC addresses are supposed to be globally unique.
2. faking MAC addresses using a schema known to be used with a system is even worse, as probability to conflict with some other address is even greater.
3. faking MAC addresses on a free product to mimic a commercial product sucks badly, as you're potentially going to kill a paid for device.
I asked Triode and others to no longer allow to fake SB addresses. If you put a paying customers device at risk by going the cheap way, we might need to lock out software players all together. And I'm sure you don't want to go there.
There's no real reason to fake a MAC address from the SB range anyway. -- Michael _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
