Thanks, Daniel. I'm installed for a user named "slimserver" and not for all users. I don't log on under this account and have the server set to start on boot.

I've tried your suggestion to no avail. Mplayer just dies after starting up. The puzzling thing is that mplayer can be run from the terminal under the slimserver login (playing a BBC stream) with settings as you suggest.

Any more suggestions, please?

Dear All,

I'm using AlienBBC for the first time - all up and running (apart from the live stream problems that I've seen mention of elsewhere). This is on Mac OS X and SlimServer 6.2.0 with mplayer from the ffmpegXbinaries20050814 archive. I've had to make my mplayer binary
have a root suid to get it to work with SlimServer, thus:

-rwsr-xr-x  1 root  slimserv  7304968 14 Aug 18:05 /usr/bin/mplayer


Just to double check. Your version of SlimServer is installed for all users?

Mine is installed just for me, and my mplayer has user myshortname, group admin.

I had to set the group to admin manually, as mplayer did not work with the group being myshortname.
