Sorry to rake over these embers, but I've bought a new laptop and downloaded Slimserver 2.1 + alien BBC + mplayer + the codecs + lame and installed exactly in accordance with the instructions, but I get no radio.
The folder structure is exactly as on the old machine with all the critical files in the same folders. On checking the slimserver-convert.conf file I found that there were some differences so I've tried both versions with exactly the same result. Alien BBC is present in the LH window and I can navigate to a station so that the squeezebox says it is playing Radio 4 or whatever but there is no sound. There is no RTSP error message but the "Shorten" boxes are unchecked in Server Settings\File Types and when I try to check them I get this: "Required binary was not found: [shorten] -x $FILE$ - | [flac] -cs --totally-silent --compression-level-0 --endian little --sign signed --channels 2 --bps 16 --sample-rate 44100 - Required binary was not found: [shorten] -x $FILE$ - | [lame] --resample 44100 --silent -q $QUALITY$ --abr $BITRATE$ - - Required binary was not found: [shorten] -x $FILE$ - " Any ideas?
