This is how I think it works. The player makes the connection directly with the station but only after Squeezenetwork has resolved the address and told the player which IP address to use. So Squeezenetwork normally does a quick check of the target station and this check would be from the Squeezenetwork server which is currently in the US.
For geolocked station such as BBC this SN check prevents stations playing. The SN checking is disabled if an URL has the special string "#slim:noscan=1" and players will be told by SN which URL to use. The player then makes the connection. IIRC This mechanism has been working for over a year. So possible cause * SN is ignoring the "noscan", * some sort of network problem (e..g. BBC server taking v. long time to start) which is causing timeout. * BBC has a new geolocking mechanism -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48793 _______________________________________________ squeezenetwork mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/squeezenetwork
