For SC7, to simplify installation of AACplus support, I have created a plugin. It is a "holder" and does nothing but enables all the AACplus files to have their own directories and so editing of conf or strings.txt files is no longer needed.
Mplayer is required to decode the AACplus streams and can be downloaded from http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html Feedback on the installation instructions (especially for different Linux distros and OSX) is needed so the Wiki can be updated. For slow AACplus streams (e.g. 48k,64k) - the track titles will appear on the SB displayed but they are delayed by around 5 minutes Windows Installation. 1. Download the AACplusWin.zip file 2. Unzip the contents so that in the SC7 directory server/Plugins/AACplus there is a Plugin.pm and a Bin directory. 3. If you do not have AlienBBC installed ort mplayer in another Bin directpory of SC7 do the following a. Download the non-GUI version of mplayer from http://www1.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/win32/MPlayer-mingw32-1.0rc2.zip b. Unzip so that there is mplayer.exe in server/Plugins/AACplus/Bin 4. Restart Slimserver and check Settings/Advanced/FileTypes that there are AACplus entries and they are enabled. 5. Test Linux/OSX Installation 1. Download the AACplusLinux.tar.gz file 2. Unzip the contents so that in the SC7 directory Plugins/AACplus there is a Plugin.pm and a Bin directory. Make sure files have correct ownership and permissions especially aacpmplayer.sh in AACplus/Bin - it must be executable. 3. Install mplayer if you do not have mplayer installed. Use standard OSX mplayer install as th AACplus plugin should find the correct mplayer. 4. Restart Slimserver and check Settings/Advanced/FileTypes that there are AACplus entries and they are enabled. 5.
