proxied streams with no external, to isp, acesss

[OzBox]

Hello,

Just purchased a Squeezebox and I have to say "I like it very much" muchos gracias! Can't wait for you guys to do something with the new h.264 chipsets and video ;-) Anyway... to the point.

My ISP caches 128k streams for us and thats a very nice thing indeed as most Australian broadband plans are not "as much as you can eat" so they provide a nice selection at no addition to my monthly quota. This all works fine if I have a slim server running on my lan and I understand why etc. My question is...

When I set up the streams as favourites in SqueezeNetwork for my unit "it no worky" :-( i.e. the unit is updated with the urls etc. but won't play them. I suspect that this is because there is no external routes to these streams and there is some sort of client -> server verification stalling ?

I was sort of presuming that once the squeezebox was updated via squeezeNetwork that it would access the streams directly. Is there some doco I can look at re: this or is there a "you fool, it's this simple" reply to my quandary ?

Cheerio

BTW the sound out of the unit via a NAD 312 into some B&W 110s is sweet....

I forgot to mention that the unit is running the firmware that came with SlimServer 6.2.1

Provided you can play other streams in SqueezeNetwork, then you're right. The cached streams may limit connections to a block of IP addresses your ISP uses.

Try listening to the streams from within SlimServer. This should work as it's going through your PC, unless they require user ID/password as you've stated.

Use the "Radio Tune In" feature.
