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.
