Thanks for the tips - if anyone's interested the following steps have fixed my problem:
Go to Public and delete the contents of the Plugins Folder. Replace this with the latest version of Alien BBC. The link to it is: http://alienbbc.googlecode.com/files/alienbbc-linux-v2.4a4-7.3.zip Once you unzipped the file, simply drag Alien to the empty Plugins FOlder. Then open up the SSOTS page (recommended because it automates otherwise complex tasks for us mere mortals - you can find this in your QNAP System. Login as Admin, go to System Tools/QPKG. This will give you the link to the SSOTS Page. Once SSOTS interface is open, gO to Extras. Click Import Plugins and let it do its thing. You'll be asked to Restart Squeeze centre, so ... Restart Squeeze Centre (Again you can do this from the SSOTS interface by clicking on Status, then clicking Stop. After a moment you can click Start and squeezecentre will load up. Wait a while (you really will have to wait ... give it a couple of minutes perhaps). Then go to Squeeze Centre and check Settings/Plugins. If all is well, you'll see the Alien BBC Plugin installed and ready to go :o) Just as a final note: My network issues are probably because I'm using a little Mobile Broadband dongle at the moment, and in order for the QNAP server to connect to the internet it must be connected to my computer via an ethernet cable. As the QNAP hasn't been very successful at getting to the internet via this means I've been grabbing the software and transferring it semi-manually. I just hadn't been able to find the latest version of ALien BBC. That link you provided was very useful as I could discern the relevant links for myself. Thankyou very much for all your help bpa. Everything's working just fine now (and I can't wait to move into my new flat when I can have proper broadband and a proper network again. I'm sure this would all have worked first time if it wasn't for my Mobile Broadband limitations). best wishes, Philip -- snoopy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snoopy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=23939 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=59426 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
