..I'm soo nearly there. I have a Qnap 409 server (2.1.0 build 0904T)
running SSOTS v 3.15, SC (7.2-22900) and a single plugin, AlienBBC
(2.2B1). No problems with SC, but I'm not getting any sound from
AlienBBC when playing BBC channels - I can play the Virgin radio
stations though. Any BBC station gives "Now Playing (Checking
Stream...)" and SC itself shows the stream and increments the playing
counter every second, but no audio.

I'm completely new to the QNAP, but I assume I must have done something
right to get the menu option, plus the Virgin streams playing.

Virgin streams show up as 
128kbps CBR, MP3 Internet Radio

and the silent BBC ones as
64kbps CBR, RTSP

..so it looks like I've made a mistake in transcoding?

My file types are as per FlipFlip's instructions, ie
* RTSP
o FLAC = disabled
o MP3 = disabled
o WAV= mplayer-stdout
* WAV
o FLAC = disabled
o MP3 = disabled
o WAV = Native.

...and I've done the Sed thing - my custom-convert.conf looks like
this

# AlienBBC - unix version
#
# Default for mplayer pre7 or later (note: -bandwidth 10000000 only
works on recent pre8 builds)

I would be hugely appreciative if anyone could point me in the right
direction, and help a recent ex-pat reconnect with old Blighty....

Cheers
