Oh, the frustration. After several weeks of perfect behaviour, AlienBBC
has suddenly completely stopped working and I cannot for the life of me
work out why this should be. I've tried restarting everything on the
network - no joy. I know my Internet connection is ok, since I can play
BBC streams via the Slimpicks menu and streaming across the network
works fine. Also, if I extract the rtsp:// url from the log entry and
paste it in to Real Player the stream starts up. So I think that I've
narrowed it down to an error in the transcoding. With a fair few log
options selected, (d_files. d_http_async, d_os, d_plugins,
d_remotestream, d_source and d-stream) a log entry for one attempt at
playing the Radio 4 live stream is attached.
I've also tried pasting the mplayer.sh command out of the log file
directly into a shell. In this case, the command fails with a 'file not
found' error in line 21 of the script. This would appear to relate to
the location of the mplayer binary. I'm no scripting expert, so I can't
tell whether my mplayer.sh file has been changed in some way - if anyone
can advise what it should look like on a TS-109 I'd be grateful. The
location of the mplayer binary on the TS-109 is /opt/mplayer/bin.

mplayer.sh starts below

app=mplayer
if [ -x /usr/local/bin/$app ] ; then
app=/usr/local/bin/$app
fi
# For mplayer pre6 comment out following line and uncomment line after
if [ -e "${10}" ] ; then
#if [ -e "${12}" ] || [ -e "${13}" ] ; then

if [ -s $apppid ] ; then
kill `cat $apppid` 2> /dev/null
