Bugzilla – Bug 5525
It should be possible to disable direct stream
Last modified: 2007-09-20 10:59:14 UTC
My player is on a private network and can't access internet URLs directly. This is a restriction of the network at my work. In all version of the server software up until 6.5 I was able to play internet radio by using the host running slimserver as a proxy. This stopped working with 6.5 and the new direct stream feature. I was able to hack around this by changing Squeezebox2.pm function canDirectStream to always return 0. This should be a configuration setting. I may make sense to assume that if a user has specified a proxy server on the network configuration page that the player can't directstream.
I believe this option is available as "MP3 Streaming Method" under Player Settings. Navigate to Home->Player Settings for "Your Player"->Audio->MP3 Streaming Method and select Proxied Streaming. Does this work for you?
Steven is right, this does work. I wasn't able to find this setting earlier and other people on the forums have had the same issue.
