So I've now got AlienBBC working (the very newest version, supplied directly to me, but I don't think there will be any difference in the way to use the different versions.

There are two things that aren't clearly explained on the Web site.

1. mplayer.sh should go inside the Bin folder which is inside SlimServer.prefPane/Contents/server (you can get to this, of course, by a control-click on the preference pane and choosing "Show package contents").

2. the mplayer.sh file needs a touch of editing (remember to use a text editor that preserves line feeds and doesn't convert them into carriage returns).

The second line of mplayer.sh reads

app=mplayer


This needs to be changed to point to the exact location of mplayer. In my case,

app=/sw/bin/mplayer

did the trick.
