You read my mind well. Or vice versa, since you composed few hours before I fixed the plugin..

I had power outages (three times) at that time. Coincidence...?

Not really a problem, but a question: Is there a way of locking the BBC-plugin into Limelight, instead of doing this each time manually?

By choosing "Limelight" as the preferred CDN in BBC plugin option. Is the feature broken?

No, it is not broken.
Sorry that I was not clear enough. I am searching for a option that FRD remembers this setting. Now I have to choose Limelight manually each time I open FDR. Using Akmai gives a zero sized file, while FDR says "Completed".....
Btw, I am in Holland, using an UK-proxy, but Akmai is apparently not working for me.

Log file attached.

I can't reproduce the case. Are you using sandbox program, or antivirus that has sandbox feature? If so, make sure you don't run FRD in sandbox, or maybe you can put FRD directory in whitelist.

Configuration file for BBC plugin is saved as "plugin_BBC.xml" file in FRD config directory. Help->Browse to log file, the go to the parent directory (config). When you press "OK" button on BBC plugin option form, the configuration is saved.

Thanks for answering.

No, I am not using sandbox or anything like that, just plain Win7.

Do you mean I can change the "plugin_BBC.xml" file manually and save these changes? The only thing I see in this file is:
=========================

Language: XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
- <java version="1.6.0_24" class="java.beans.XMLDecoder">
  <object class="cz.vity.freerapid.plugins.services.bbc.SettingsConfig" /> 
  </java>

=========================

Or do I misunderstand you here?

Edited: formatted as xml

Your "plugin_BBC.xml" file is probably corrupted. You can safely delete "plugin_BBC.xml". The plugin will create a new one.

I did so, but no solution. If you can't reproduce it, I must be something on my side. I will look into it again. But it is not a really major problem, I can live with it. Thanks anyway.

I just tested with windows XP (don't laugh..) in virtual machine, it also works fine. Your java version is outdated by the way, java 6 was EOL(end of life)-ed almost a year ago. You might want to try to install java 7 or 8. I'm not sure whether installing java 7 or 8 will resolve this issue.
