Just thought of something: A while back I was asked by a user with an odd setup (he did not have credentials on his non-ngrok proxy but did have credentials on his LMS instead) if I could pass the credentials through in the stream-URL which seemed harmless at the time. These then end up in the path to the /stream.mp3 endpoint but are ignored if LMS has no credential enabled: http://username:password@192.168.1.2:9000/stream.mp3?player=Alexa-xxxxx However, if you have any of the characters : @ / = ? in your username or password, it would mess up streaming. If that's the case for you, remove the offending character and re-try. If that was the issue then I'll have a think how I could get around the issue by perhaps urlencoding (not sure if LMS would accept URL encoded credentials for him). Regarding the uuid, I don't want to store people's privacy-sensitive data so you don;t have an account/login with my back-end (smartskills.tech). Instead, I recognise users anonymously by assigning a uuid to them. You actually store the uuid, not me. It's kept in your browser's localStorage database which normally survives clearing your browser cache. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ philchillbill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=68920 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111016 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
