Then I tried to install live555 as mentioned in one > of the posts but still no sound. I had this working on FC3 at while ago, but can't seem to find my notes now. I currently have AlienBBC working on a CentOS 4.2 system, which is Redhat/Fedora based. The trick for me to get it working on CentOS and I think also on FC3 was to install the w32codec on its own. I currently have w32codec-1.0-9.2.el4.mok.i386.rpm installed on my system since I use the Redhat EL4 repos. The closest one for FC3 that I found is here: http://tinyurl.com/zj6xp
As for the version of mplayer, I would recommend using the pre7 version. I am currently successfully using version mplayer-1.0-52_pre7try3.el4.at.i386.rpm on my system. There is a FC3 version also availavble here: http://tinyurl.com/gqr8n After you install them, make sure that mplayer can decode RealAudio streams from the command line before you try and get AlienBBC working in SlimServer. >From post http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=57215&postcount=1: Code: -------------------- * To test that the player works, run the following : mplayer rtsp://rmlivev8.bbc.net.uk/farm/*/ev7/live24/radio1/live/r1_dsat_g2.ra * You should see it connect and then start to decode; once it prints out 'Starting playback', you know all's well. -------------------- I think that is all that I had to do... Install mplayer pre7, the w32codecs and extract AlienBBC to the plugins folder. If that doesn't work for you, let me know and I'll dig a little deeper into my setup and see if I changed or installed anything else. --Tom Malsbury PS: I would recomend installing via YUM instead of Fileroller so you don't get stuck in dependancy hell. -- malsbury ------------------------------------------------------------------------ malsbury's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22495 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
