Here's a rare installation. Have upgraded Alien from 2.5a5 to 2.6.0 running on a Synology CS-407 NAS drive (DSM 2.1 0832) with the SSODS (3.15) package under SqueezeCenter 7.3.3-25715 nightly.
Works fine (but see the fix I need to make on this system below). I only tend to listen to 5Live, R4, R6 and occasional podcasts. Have checked out those channels on both the iplayer alternate links and main ones and they seem to work OK. The Simon Mayo/Kermode film review podcast played OK. Tried the BBC Manchester link from the "Alien BBC -> Local Radio" link and that didn't work but from the "Alien BBC -> BBC Live Streams -> Local Radio" does. Like the new graphics on the web page BTW. Maybe in a similar way to BodgeIT's earlier I need to alter custom-convert.conf to run on the Synology as it doesn't have a /dev/fd directory so I substitute those references with ones to /proc/self/fd. I suppose the portable way would be to add a new substitution string to the main Slimserver code in Player/TranscodingHelper.pm which resolves to the path of the file descriptors (under Unix-Like OSs). It doesn't look a big job but for the moment though i'm happy enough to keep fixing the file when a new release comes in. Finally I'll say a big thanks to everyone involved in Alien, it's the #1 plugin I couldn't do without.
