Although everyone is very helpful with advice on how to do this and that, I find that really KISS is always best.
To save time for other users here is a summary of how I got HSL to work on my laptop, running Windows 8.1 Pro with LMS v 7.8 community. ItÂ’s just refers to the most significant post by bpa [image: file:///C:\Users\Ronnie\AppData\Local\Temp\msohtml1\01\clip_image002.gif]Originally Posted by *bpa* '[image: file:///C:\Users\Ronnie\AppData\Local\Temp\msohtml1\01\clip_image004.gif]' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?p=807017#post807017) 1. You need ffmpeg.exe on your system. To install that you may need 7Zip. I installed ffmpeg.exe (static 64 bit) into the LMS Bin directory alongside faad.exe - if you are unsure get Windows to find the files faad.exe and sox.exe. The ffmpeg.exe came from here - http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/ 2. On LMS GUI Settings/Plugins add the following URL to repository URLs at bottom of page. 'http://bpaplugins.googlecode.com/svn...po-playhls.xml' (http://bpaplugins.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/repo-playhls.xml) 3. Click Apply - LMS should restart. 4. PlayHLS should appear as a plugin on bpa repository at bottom of page. Install as per normal and if necessary enable it. 5. LMS should restart 6. Check in WebGUI Settings/Advanced/Filetype that there a Apple HLS m3u8 File type and there are 3 ffmpeg entries set and not greyed out or disabled. To get the file you need to unpack the file using 7zip and locate the .exe C:\Users\Ronnie\Desktop\ffmpeg\ffmpeg-20150214-git-ac7fc44-win64-static\bin http://'[image: http://i821.photobucket.com/albums/zz140/Maninavan1/LMS/ffmeg%20location_zpsotncerhl.jpg]' (http://s821.photobucket.com/user/Maninavan1/media/LMS/ffmeg%20location_zpsotncerhl.jpg.html) Then locate the LMS Bin directory, 1) I went: C:\Program Files (x86)>Squeezebox>server>Bin>MSWin32-x86-multi-thread http://'[image: http://i821.photobucket.com/albums/zz140/Maninavan1/LMS/ffmpeg%20install_zpsrvqjg8kq.jpg]' (http://s821.photobucket.com/user/Maninavan1/media/LMS/ffmpeg%20install_zpsrvqjg8kq.jpg.html) And just dragged the file across For the plug-in http://'[image: http://i821.photobucket.com/albums/zz140/Maninavan1/LMS/bpa%20plugin_zpspbqfqzab.jpg]' (http://s821.photobucket.com/user/Maninavan1/media/LMS/bpa%20plugin_zpspbqfqzab.jpg.html) and check the files http://'[image: http://i821.photobucket.com/albums/zz140/Maninavan1/LMS/ffmpeg_zpspmddz7br.jpg]' (http://s821.photobucket.com/user/Maninavan1/media/LMS/ffmpeg_zpspmddz7br.jpg.html) Restarted the Laptop and played some files. Hope this helps Props to all the folk doing the hard work. atb Ronnie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Man in a van's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=43627 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103143
