As a new user Id like to ask for some help if I may! Ive got a fully working Squeezebox controller + duet
i can play mp3s from the PC etc as well as playing internet radio etc like Radio IO Im using squeezecentre 7.01 I wanted to install the AlienBBC plugin ... I installed the 2.01 plugin and ran the exe. After a reboot I cannot see the menus for the BBC.... I ran through the post checks on the wiki with the following results 1. In Settings/Plugins - check there is an entry for AlienBBC and it is enabled. If no Plugins then either Plugin files have been installed in the wrong directory or else the files cannot be read by SC. >> there is an entry and it is enabled 2. Click "Settings" in the Settings/Plugin/AlienBBC entry. If the install has succeeded you will get an AlienBBC settings page. If you get a "404" message then it usually means that AlienBBC Plugins has been installed at the wrong level in the Plugins directory, you have multiple installations of AlienBBC or multiple "Plugins" directory in the SC server directory and sub-directories >> I can see the correct settings page for the AlienBBC entry, 3. Check main WebUI - do you see AlienBBC menu under Internet Radio. Click on this menu and you should more menus. If you don't then AlienBBC had problems creating the alienbbc.opml file in Playlist or Cache directories. Check permissions and disk quota of SC user or free space on the disk where playlists are stored. >> I cannot see any menu under the internet radio section. 4. Check that when you go down menu such as Radio 4 A-Z you get a list of programs. If you do not get submenus then it is likely you have some sort of network problem. A network problem would affect the Staff Picks menu. Check if "Staff Picks" is working >> no menu as above - staff picks does work 5. Check Settings/FileTypes/RTSP. There should be 3 entries for RTSP and at least 2 (WAV and Flac) should be enabled. If there are no RTSP setting then installation has failed in someway and needs more Troubleshooting. If there are RTSP entries and none are enabled then SC cannot find mplayer or cannot run mplayer or mplayer.sh in the case of Linux and OSX. Check where mplayer is installed. Check the name of mplayer (case can be significant) and also check ownership and permission. >> under settings file types RTSP there are three entries flac / wav / mp ... wav and flac are allocated to mplayer .. mp3 is disabled... wav flac is allocated to flac . mp3 is disabled and wav is set to native. 6. If RTSP entries are enabled and you can navigate AlienBBC menus down to programs - selecting and playing a program. If the program plays then AlienBBC install is probably good. >> progams under alienbbs does not appear as far as I can see 7. If playing a program failed, test playing RealAudio streams by pasting the following URL into "Tune-in" on the WebUI. rtsp://rmlive.bbc.co.uk/bbc-rbs/rmlive/ev7/live24/radio4/live/r4_dsat_g2.ra If no audio is then if you are on Windows check security s/w/. If you are on Linux/OSX check that mplayer works OK on your system and that mplayer.sh can find mplayer. >> pasting the url into tune in plays correctly and audio is heard. It seems only a menu issue?? Ive installed the bbc iplayer plug in update and run that without success. Would be great if someone can send some advice! thanks Simon -- britindus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ britindus's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=19532 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=51417 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
