Alright, got me a brand spankin' new R7000 router, and this one actually has HTTPS server capabilities, hence methinks that this might be a more secure music streaming choice. It wouldn't work though, as VLC complains about a "Certificate verification failure (0x0042)." How would I get VLC to accept whatever certificate it needs please? Sending credentials via the URL line (https://username:password@wherever.com/path/file.flac) doesn't seem to work.
Many thanks for your advice.
