No, this isn't a bug. It doesn't really matter even that the player aren't actual Squeezeboxes - SlimServer has no concept of individual users (beyond a few cookies that save a couple settings) and no concept of a user 'owning' a particular player. I believe the stream.mp3 thing was done as something of an afterthought. It works, but connecting and playing to a software player is often very awkward. I don't really expect that to ever be addressed, as the feature isn't used for music playback on the actual Squeezebox products. SlimServer wasn't really intended to be used in any kind of a public or potentially hostile environment. Even with a number of actual hardware Squeezeboxes on your network any user that can connect to the web page can play or stop the music on any of the players on the network. I think that eventually the last issue will be addressed, as there's been a LOT of call for things like individual user settings and some degree of security that might restrict a particular user to control a particular player. -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35771 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
