Many thanks bpa

The point of my previous post was that data from the same URL plays OK
as a simple MP3 file in the songs directory but not as a radio stream.
Doesn't this point to mishandling within the radio streams processing
(plugins?) ? Tne radio streams go via Mplayer don't they? Using v
1.0rc2-4.2.1, dated 09 October 2007, 15:22:26.

chrislayeruk is also saying podcasts fail on his SB3.

BTW I've no slimSevices hardware myself at the moment, so stuck with
SSq. Hope to rectify shortly...

Re other query - need to pause then play before (many) radio streams
will proceed. Other recent posts on this suggest it is a SSq only
issue, and OK on SB3. However, again I never had this problem on
SS6.5/SSq3.4 and could mess with BBC streams without any need to 'poke'
the system to make it go!

I've zapped my SS6.5 install .exe so can't go back - where can I get it
now - I want to re-test with previous versions.


Bed time Reading:

Sorry my queries are a bit wooly - need a better understanding of the
architecture of this stuff - do you know if there's a doc somewhere
that details the data/stream paths and formats involved for typical
playing scenarios? and how these relate to the file types settings
page.

Are the various Perl scripts involved in the plugins themselves
processing/piping stream/audio data, or are they only constructing
command lines for and starting other processes - eg Mplayer?

Cheers

Pete
