On the web interface, go to 'settings', and select the 'plugins' tab. Go to the bottom. You may need to tick a box saying something like 'allow 3rd party plugins', and press Apply. At the very bottom you should have a section called 'Additional Repositories' Add a line containing Code: -------------------- http://bpaplugins.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/repo-playhls.xml -------------------- and Press Apply. Near the bottom you should now have a section called "PlayHLS Plugin repo". Tick the box, Apply, and restart LMS. LMS should now be able to play the new format streams. Try adding a favourite at Code: -------------------- http://a.files.bbci.co.uk/media/live/manifesto/audio/simulcast/hls/uk/high/ak/bbc_radio_one.m3u8 -------------------- It should now play. Not high quality, but at least present. LMS 7.9 on VortexBox Midi, Xubuntu 14.04, FLACs 16->24 bit, 44.1->192kbps. LMS & Squeeze2upnp (Beta - derived from squeezelite) to Musical Fidelity M1 CLiC and Marantz CR603 UPnP renderers. Squeezelite to PC sound. Minimserver (server) and upplay (control point) to same amps & to upmpdcli/mpd PC renderers. Meridian USB Explorer DAC from PCs to speakers/headphones. Wireless Xubuntu 14.04 laptop controls LMS/upplay via Firefox. Have a Touch with EDO, and a spare, but don't use. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PasTim's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41642 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
