I was wondering if some kind soul can help me get AlienBBC working. I'm on a G4 Powerbook with OSX 10.4.7. My SlimServer version is 6.3 - 8154 - (8J135). I *was* using 6.5b1 but installed 6.3 back over the top of it because I found that early release a little buggy. What's worth bearing in mind is that it took me 5 minutes to get AlienBBC working under 6.5b1 but now I'm having problems. :-)
So I'm back to 6.3 and I have followed these installation steps: i) Downloaded alienbbc-linux-v1.04_6.2-3. Copied mplayer.sh from Bin to ~/Library/SlimDevices/bin. Copied the contents of Plugins to ~/Library/SlimDevices/Plugins. ii) Downloaded mplayer from the link on the AlienBBC website. I did have another version installed under /usr/local/bin but I have commented that out and instead installed the version linked as suggested. The abbreviated contents of /usr/local/bin are: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 147696 Jan 27 2005 flac -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 386 Jan 27 2004 gendiff -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 337204 May 23 05:40 lame -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 356508 Jan 27 2005 lame.old -rwsr-xr-x 1 root seantown 80880 Mar 13 2003 lft -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 102436 Jan 27 2005 metaflac lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5 Sep 11 2004 mpgcat -> mpgtx lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5 Sep 11 2004 mpgdemux -> mpgtx lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5 Sep 11 2004 mpginfo -> mpgtx lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5 Sep 11 2004 mpgjoin -> mpgtx lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5 Sep 11 2004 mpgsplit -> mpgtx -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 198428 Aug 26 2002 mpgtx -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 5246936 Jun 28 22:19 mplayer -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6385952 May 21 2005 mplayer.notworking iii) Downloaded and installed the iTunes-LAME 2.0.7 disk image but on seeing the later comments in this thread, deleted or renamed any lame files currently installed and instead installed LAME-3.9.61 from the Thalictrum site. Contents of /usr/local/lib: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 331820 May 23 05:40 libmp3lame.0.0.0.dylib lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 37 Jun 28 22:47 libmp3lame.0.dylib -> /usr/local/lib/libmp3lame.0.0.0.dylib -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 381832 May 23 05:40 libmp3lame.a lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 37 Jun 28 22:47 libmp3lame.dylib -> /usr/local/lib/libmp3lame.0.0.0.dylib -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 816 May 23 05:40 libmp3lame.la After those pieces were installed I tested mplayer at the command line: Powerbook:/usr/local/lib seantownsend$ /usr/local/bin/mplayer -playlist http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/shows/rpms/radio2/paul_jones.rpm MPlayer dev-CVS-060315-18:00-4.0.1 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team AltiVec found CPU: PowerPC STREAM_HTTP(1), URL: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/aod/shows/rpms/radio2/paul_jones.rpm And after a few other messages and some caching I hear a BBC stream loud and clear. My problem is that I get *nothing* out of either the Squeezebox or from Softsqueeze. The AlienBBC option is showing up under Internet Radio but when I try and play a stream (say Radio4 Live) I get a short 'Connecting' message then nothing. I have re-cycled the server several times but still no luck. Given that I can get a stream at the command-line using mplayer, and that the plug-in itself shows up correctly, what am I missing? Any help much appreciated, I've spent hours on this tonight. :-) I'm worried that there is something left-over from my 6.5b1 SlimServer install that is borking 6.2/3 Plugins. I will try debug mode and see what I find tomorrow.... -- GeeZa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GeeZa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5563 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24480 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
