Thanks for the new AlienBBC beta - I've been silently waiting for quite
a while for this. I think it's one of the main things that's been
holding back the SC V7 adoption, so it's great news.
I'm trying the updated AlienBBC and at the moment can't get any sound
from the player. The symptom is that, on the web interface, the player
quickly flicks from "playing" back to "stopped", and no sound is
produced.
I've done some debugging with player.source debugging turned on and I
can see the URL it's trying to decode.
mplayer.sh is in SqueezeCenter's Bin directory (I had to create that as
a soft link to my real mplayer), and running that manually from the
command-line with the URL in the log works as expected, but through
SqueezeCenter nothing.
Looking at the console I see the following area of suspicion just as it
flicks back to "stopped" (this doesn't seem to get into the log file):
Code:
--------------------
[AO PCM] Failed to open /dev/fd/3 for writing!
Could not open/initialize audio device -> no sound.
--------------------
I know that's the fd that mplayer is trying to stream its output to,
so, it seems to be a problem in how that file descriptor gets set up
prior to invoking mplayer.
As a test I changed the destination to /dev/fd/1 in custom-convert.conf
and it seems to work for me (it plays, I can hear it, and there are no
failure messages), but I suspect there's a good reason why that
shouldn't be done.
I'll continue looking into it, but I wonder if there's an obvious
answer to save some time?
Thanks,
Stuart
