This is a network or firewall problem as the "player did not connect within timeout" message shows that a connection has not been received. The "error writing" message is a consequence of this rather than a cause. I would check all firewall and network settings and try something like telnetting to port 9100 from a remote machine to see if the connection is received and creates a connection in the helper app log. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79706 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
