Don't worry Ross I was planning on it :)

Also Ross at the moment I have to compile the live.com code, and then
the VLC code to test and see how things are working? Would you know an
easier way of testing the live.com code seperately?

It would make it easier if I worked with one software at a time. That
way at least I would know where things have gone wrong.

Thanks.
