Thanks BPA.

  /opt/mplayer/bin/mplayer -vo null -cache 128 -playlist 
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/realplayer/media/fmg2.rpm

mplayer playback works fine now. Indeed the version I compiled has worked fine in the past too until I decided to re-install the slimserver package.

I have done some more tests and it appears that mplayer.sh is never being called by the plugin. Tested by adding a:

"touch /tmp/slim.test"

to mplayer.sh.

Indeed, when I go to play a stream, the failure is instant, too short for any external program to be called let alone buffering occurring.

Should I be seeing an AlienBBC plugin listed in "Server Settings > Plugins"? At the moment there is no AlienBBC plugin listed there but browsing the AlienBBC menu on the Squeezebox works and I can see the plugin parsing the BBC website data.
