Hi I've been following this thread as I've had identical problems - AlienBBC installed fine, sound from podcasts, Virgin Radio etc. but NO sound from streaming BBC stations.
When I saw the posts about possible conflicts with Zone Alarm I thought 'Thats IT!! I've had it with Zone Alarm!'. I've had problems with other software that often seem to lead back to ZA. Anyway, uninstalled ZA, downloaded and installed Kerio Firewall (free!), tried AlienBBC on softsqueeze and Hey Presto! All BBC channels now streaming almost instantly. Took less than 10 minutes. Link for Kerio is here http://www.sunbelt-software.com/Kerio.cfm It's free, as easy or as detailed as you want it to be (like ZA) but has some nice features, like showing which sockets and connections EACH program has, as well as the upload/download rates for each of these. If you choose the advanced setting (to permit or deny things yourself) you have to allow socketwrapper, mplayer and FLAC as each is launched the first time you run AlienBBC. Do yourself a favour - uninstall ZA and enjoy streaming heaven! -- dwhitby ------------------------------------------------------------------------ dwhitby's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3957 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19683 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
