Milhouse, bpa, thanks for your prompt suggestions. Problem solved - it was indeed a permissions issue. I'd been mixing Windows and Linux (Winnuxing?) and took my eye off the ball. The chmod command did the trick. BBC streams now playing beautifully and ffmpeg leaves the room when asked to. All is well. Great work, really appreciate it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ VictorLaszlo's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=20544 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53229 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
