As bpa suggests, why not give us more information. We don't even know what OS you are using. I would suggest that, if you want help, you post proper details in the 3rd party plugins forum, which is rather more focussed than this one. Begin by telling us your OS, where you placed mplayer and the codec, and if you are using Mac (as I suspect you are), as suggested in the instructions, run mplayer in Terminal on some BBC programme and give us the details of what shows up. We will then have some information that will let us help you. It's frustrating for us to face posts which are the equivalent of "My computer doesn't work. Help!" All I can say at the moment is that it took me some time and effort to get AlienBBC working, but I managed it for myself even when there were no instructions. You could have missed something very simple. For instance, if you tried to edit mplayer.sh in TextEdit, it will go wrong as TextEdit does not preserve Unix line endings. Yes, we do need to change the instructions for Mac installation.. I'm wondering, though, if we should wait until there is a Mac version of mplayer that doesn't require the codec - such a version exists on other platforms. -- danco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22467 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
