I had a go, last August, at seeing if LMS could preserve the original URL within the track object on a redirect. Initial experiment suggests that it might be done with a small LMS change, attached. The notion is/was that 'trackInfo' menus could then have access to the original URL to do their magic, rather than relying on unreliable 'pre-scanning' as seems to be often done. Whether, in practice, anything could be made of it is another matter, it would depend on precise circumstances. And not helpful to plugins that need to run on older versions of LMS. I don't know if it is worth pursuing. Even then, I'm not sure that it would necessarily be relevant to the circumstances of BBCiPlayer... +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: 0001-Remote-tracks-Retain-original-URL-when-redirected.patch.txt| |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=30297| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ mrw's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38299 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109826 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
