I don't normally use Internet radio, but I thought I'd try it to see if it worked for me. Shoutcast worked fine. I couldn't work out how to use the shoutcast.com URL [1] but using the IP address directly [2] worked fine. Also, many other shoutcase stations played fine. By "played/worked fine" I mean that I click the URL and the station begins playing in 1-2 seconds. Now, this doesn't rule out a problem with the Squeezebox/Slimserver combination, but it does suggest that there may be some difference in your setup that triggers the issue. I can understand your frustration, but it's really hard to fix something when you can't reproduce it (been there, done that, got the t-shirt). Can you remind me what your setup is, i.e. server OS, SB version, Slimserver version, firmware revision, network topology, etc ? R. PS. My setup is: Transporter wirelessly connected to Linksys WRT54GS using WPA2 Linksys connected to Cisco ADSL modem/router Metronet broadband (unlimited, 8Mb/s) slimserver trunk running on Linux (FC6) [1] http://www.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=3201 [2] http://205.188.215.225:8006/ _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
