tried this, but I want to confirm that multiple SlliMP3 Connectors can be
installed on the network where each connector is associated with a unique
SlimServer. The Target address is then used to assue that the
Connector will only listen to messages with its Target address when Whole
House Audio commands are sent. I am assuming, based upon the
Connectors config file, that only one SllimServer is supported per
Connector.</FONT></DIV>

for more on this...>AFAIK % isn't allowed in a xAP
construct:>>"This keyword uses alpha-numeric printable
characters a..z (a through>z) 0-9 (zero through nine), _
(underscore), - (minus) and, additionally,>embedded _ (space)."That
refers to the keyword or name part of a name/value pair, whereasin the
above it's actually in the value part. However, 2 things springout of
this:1) I'm not clear if there are certain characters that are invalid inan
address string, other than space characters.2) xAPFramework lets dodgy
characters through in the name/keyword partanyway!!! I'm amazed I've never
spotted that before!!! For example:Display.SliMP3{Line
1%=HelloLine2=World!Duration=15}Anyway, how well does a percentage sign sit
in an address value? If Idecode the escaped characters in this particular
case I will end upwith a definitely invalid address. For
instance:Source=KCSoft.SliMP3.Anya:Test:MeSo in this respect I actually
think that Test%3aMe is correct, strangeas it may seem. I'm back to what do
I do with somewhat more wildernames assigned for players.Also space
characters work out okay sticking with this mechanism asthey turn up as
"Test%20Me".Dotted separators are fine as you've discovered e.g.
"Test.Me" withthe proviso that they are interpreted as
sub-subaddress nodes as perthe xAP spec.So the question is are % characters
allowed in header values in thisway? I had a gander at the spec but I
couldn't spot any rules on this.May have missed it though as I was
scanning.You have helped find a bug in xFx though, where it's not
stringentenough. Darn. d;-))S-- Stuart Booth
