More (but still not enough). The major problem remains that the AlienBBC developers don't have access to a Mac.
I'm not a developer (though I have done a few bits of debugging, moving mplayer around, etc), just a satisfied user of AlienBBC, trying to share the benefit of my experience. But it seems that things don't work for others. It is quite possible that I have installed other items previously that have made things easier for me. What we really need is someone with a new Mac who is prepared to test thoroughly. Alternatively, someone with a Mac and an empty firewire drive on which to make a new installtion of OS X, SlimServer, AlienBBC, etc. It is usually possible to boot from a firewire drive, so that could be used for testing. Neil, is there any way (developers list, general forum, etc) of putting out an appeal for this? I'll be happy to indicate things to try. Neil, also could you change the order of items 2 and 3 in my instructions. It can't harm, and (as my only copy of lame is in /usr/local/bin) I think it is quite possible that the folder /usr/local/bin is created during the installation of iTunes-LAME. kefa, glad you've got AlienBBC working. It's useful to have people's experiences listed in the forum. But these instructions are too complicated for the general user. If my instructions worked properly, they would be at the right level. crouchend, where is your copy of lame (on the two Macs)? If you can't find it easily, you can use Terminal to find it. Run Terminal as an admin user and type find /usr -name lame to see where it is. I suspect an issue with mplayer not finding lame, but can't be sure at this stage. By the way, if you actually live in Crouch End, London, I'm not too far away, and we could perhaps get together to check things. -- danco ------------------------------------------------------------------------ danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24480 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
