Okay the instructions didn't work for me and I didn't want to taint my intel native system. Here's what I did, although I'm not sure whether this is safe/secure etc. I'm a bit of an apple newbie:
1. Download the intel native Mac OS X preview release of MPlayer (http://www.mplayerhq.hu/design7/dload.html) and install using an admin user 2. Download and extract the native version of lame from http://www.rarewares.org/files/mp3/lame_3.97b2.dmg.zip. Stick it anywhere for the time being. 3. Now this is the bit I didn't get: users don't have permissions to write to /usr/local/bin my default and it's not on the system path. Can someone explain why all the instructions say install here? So instead, log on to Terminal as an Admin user (your default user may already have admin rights). Copy the downloaded lame file that you have extracted in to the /usr/sbin (this folder is on the system path) using: sudo cp <extract location>/lame /usr/sbin 4. Create a link to the mplayer command using: sudo ln -s /Applications/MPlayer\ OSX.app/Contents/Resources/External_Binaries/mplayer.app/Contents/MacOS/mplayer /usr/sbin/mplayer 5. Using Finder copy the linux AlienBBC files to the appropriate Slimserver folder. The slimserver folder can be located in <home>/Library/SlimDevices 6. Restart slimserver from the preferences panel. -- kefa Mac OS X 10.4.6, Slimserver 6.2.2, Netgear DG834GT Squeezebox 3, Primare SPA20, Monitor Audio GR20 Squeezebox 2, Denon UD-M30, <TBD-eBay> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ kefa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=421 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24480 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
