Thanks for clearing that up!
BTW, for the author: If this application is as cool as it seems, then I
really hope it will be GPL-ed. I'd like to lend a hand with development.

Ah-ha! So, is the non-Alien BBC R7 stream I can get identical (in terms
of audio quality) to the one I can get via Alien?
Unfortunately - more or less - yes. The WMA (except Woreld Service)
use 48kbps streams and RealAudio use 64kBits/sec stream. WMA and
RealAudio use different codecs
Hi. For me AlienBBC 2.5 works great on SC7.3.2/debian linux.
I have noticed that, probably due to connection failures or timeouts,
my machine can pile up inactive mplayer/flac processes over time. They
take no CPU, but a little memory and I am looking to make the headless

I guess this is because there's some MySQL specific code in the plugin and 7.4

Are many people still using SqueezeScrobbler?
I expect the radio side of the plugin is either going to or already has stopped
working, and I don't plan to update it any more.

I used the Squeezecenter Extension Downloader for the installation; I
did not install AlienBBC myself from the zip file.
I think it may be Gentoo specific as ED works OK for Linux for other
users.

I have found that switching SugarCube off via SBC and using it only

Leaving it switched off means that SqueezeCentre behaves as intended;
i.e. only plays selected tracks or albums. When

The BBCiPlayer plugin does not use mplayer so doing anything with
mplayer would not affect BBCiPlayer plugin ability to play streams.
Stick with problem solving with BBCiPlayer only as AlienBBC uses
transcoding which has a different methods to get programs and to play
streams.

all of absolute radio and so mp3 does play but RADIOIO does not which
seems on the ones i looked at to be a PLS file. Does that make sense? If
there are a few specifics I can try individual streams. Mp3 files play
of course.
Slim Picks Radio4 uses the 48k WMA stream so the comaprison is not
really valid as you are trying to play 128k MP3 streams with

Could be that you have proxied streaming enabled for one or more
players. iPlayer works best with this disabled. I would recommend
using the latest 7.3.3 nightly if you do not want to try out the
bleeding edge 7.4

Hi everyone
I have seen quite a few posts about how to fix AlienBBC plugin issues,
but I have no clue about Linux, so I'm a bit lost.
I have installed the AlienBBC Plugin on my Synology DS408 using
Extension downloader. Then turned off Squeezecenter and turned it back
on. AlienBBC shows up under

For AlienBBC to play RealAudio streams - you need a build of mplayer
that runs on your Synology.
