I set the loglevel for player.source to debug and had a look in
/var/log/squeezeboxserver/server.log.  I observed that none of the
available MP4 transcoders were capable of accepting input from a pipe
nor from a URL, only from a file.

I added the following to /etc/squeezeboxserver/custom-convert.conf:


Code:
--------------------
    
  mp4 flc * *
        # I:{PATH=pipe:0}F:{PATH=file:%f}R:{PATH=%F}T:{START=-ss %s}U:{END=-t 
%w}
        [ffmpeg] -loglevel quiet -f mp4 $START$ -i $PATH$ -f flac -
  
--------------------


I ensured that ffmpeg was installed (from http://rpmfusion.org/, because
I'm using Centos 6).

I can now play streams from Mixcloud on my Squeezebox 3.
