Here are the steps I took to get the new HLS streams working on LMS 7.8.0 running on Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8... 1. INSTALL BPA'S PLAYHLS PLUGIN - In LMS, choose Settings and go the the Plugins tab. At the bottom of the screen enter the following URL into the respository URL: http://bpaplugins.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/repo-playhls.xml - Click apply. LMS will prompt to restart - PlayHLS should appear as an available plugin to install. Install as normal (tick the box) and if necessary enable it. LMS will prompt to restart. 2. INSTALL FFMPEG ON YOUR SYSTEM: - Download from http://ffmpegmac.net/ - Make sure you choose the right version. I'm using a 32-bit Mac mini from 2006 so used the 32-bit version; most people probably need the 64 bit version. - Extract 3 files from the downloaded zip file - copy the three extracted files (you probably only need ffmpeg) into the /usr/local/bin directory. - Note that to complete the last step, I had to modify the permissions of /usr/local/bin directory to allow me to write to the folder by typing the following at a terminal prompt: sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/bin (you will be prompted for your password) 3. CHECK - In LMS Settings - Advanced - Filetype that there a Apple HLS m3u8 File type and there are 3 ffmpeg entries set and not greyed out or disabled. 4. ADD ONE OR MORE OF THE HLS URLS TO YOUR \"FAVORITES\". - On the LMS home page, click the pencil icon to the right of "Favorites" - Copy the URL for your selected station and enter an appropriate description. Your selected stations should now be available in the Favorites menu on your Squeezeboxen for selection. Many thanks to bpa, Michael Herger and penguin_sam for helping to point me in the right direction. The way that the community comes together to solve these problems and help each other never ceases to impress me :) cheers Chippy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Chippy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=247 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
