At last, you have found the actual problem - /dev/fd is essential to AlienBBC.
mplayer cannot be piped as stdout is used for messages. The following fragment is the closest possible mplayer .... -ao pcm:nowaveheader:file=/dev/fd/4 $FILE$ 4>&1 1>/dev/null | lame --silent ..... Stdout (fd1) is redirected to null PCM output is sent to fd4. fd4 is then redirected to stdout /dev/fd is the device for file descriptors and is available in most linux. I don't know about synology perhaps it is a FreeBSD. Sometimes /dev/fd is called something else - What is in /dev ? Any idea of the distro of the OS on DS-106 ? -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26727 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
