As i understand it (and I am no expert here!) thee are low bit rate (56kbps) versions of the streams that work outside the UK. Your Boom favorites are probably set to the BBC iplayer 128kbps streams, which won't play - if you navigate to the BBC through the Radio Stations menu you should be OK.

BBC iPlayer plugin will work outside the UK if you go down through the menus. Favorites will be using UK only URLs. There are no MP3 streams outside UK only WMA and Flash/AAC so if you have set the plugin to play MP3 streams only - it will fail. Your best chance is with WMA. Make sure you are

I find they are more amazed when you use a laptop to log into your SBS server computer and commence playback of playlists on the actual hardware player. This way you are utilizing the full SBS UI, not just a software player. More importantly, you are demonstrating what SqueezeBox is really all

No, SqueezePlay doesn't need to be on the same box as SBS -- that would be extremely limiting. Maybe it's connected to MySB.com. Have you tried connecting to SBS from SP, as opposed to waiting for SBS to find the SP player? Use My Music Switch Library. -- aubuti
