BBC uses two CDNs to deliver their services: Akamai and Limelight. The BBCiPlayer menu "normally" choose akamai. As a test you can try the "Listen Live alt CDN" to use the Limelight CDN. One user of NORD VPN found akamai delivered services blocked but Limelight wasn't. I can't offer any other advice on firewall setup as plugin use of http/https is standard (i.e. out on 80). Plugin uses additional connections for metadata. There are "common" names on the CDNs services URLs and the metadata but it can get messy as often they are redirected. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110459 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
