Thanks for the clarification - that makes sense. So a slimproto player could send some UID for itself even if it (somehow) doesn't have a MAC? Would it make sense to add a similar feature to the stream.mp3 method? How about an optional "player=..." http parameter which could allow a bookmark to identify which set of prefs the server should use, ignoring IP address? -- radish ------------------------------------------------------------------------ radish's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=77 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21671 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
