[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: AlienBBC and Mac instructions
I was wondering if some kind soul can help me get AlienBBC working. I'm on a G4 Powerbook with OSX 10.4.7. My SlimServer version is 6.3 - 8154 - (8J135). I *was* using 6.5b1 but installed 6.3 back over the top of it because I found that early release a little buggy. What's worth bearing in mind is that it took me 5 minutes to get AlienBBC working under 6.5b1 but now I'm having problems. :-) So I'm back to 6.3 and I have followed these installation steps: i) Downloaded alienbbc-linux-v1.04_6.2-3. Copied mplayer.sh from Bin to ~/Library/SlimDevices/bin. Copied the contents of Plugins to ~/Library/SlimDevices/Plugins. ii) Downloaded mplayer from the link on the AlienBBC website. I did have another version installed under /usr/local/bin but I have commented that out and instead installed the version linked as suggested. The abbreviated contents of /usr/local/bin are: -rwxr-xr-x1 root wheel 147696 Jan 27 2005 flac -rwxr-xr-x1 root wheel 386 Jan 27 2004 gendiff -rwxr-xr-x1 root wheel 337204 May 23 05:40 lame -rwxr-xr-x1 root wheel 356508 Jan 27 2005 lame.old -rwsr-xr-x1 root seantown80880 Mar 13 2003 lft -rwxr-xr-x1 root wheel 102436 Jan 27 2005 metaflac lrwxr-xr-x1 root wheel 5 Sep 11 2004 mpgcat -> mpgtx lrwxr-xr-x1 root wheel 5 Sep 11 2004 mpgdemux -> mpgtx lrwxr-xr-x1 root wheel 5 Sep 11 2004 mpginfo -> mpgtx lrwxr-xr-x1 root wheel 5 Sep 11 2004 mpgjoin -> mpgtx lrwxr-xr-x1 root wheel 5 Sep 11 2004 mpgsplit -> mpgtx -rwxr-xr-x1 root wheel 198428 Aug 26 2002 mpgtx -rwxr-xr-x1 root wheel 5246936 Jun 28 22:19 mplayer -rwxr-xr-x1 root wheel 6385952 May 21 2005 mplayer.notworking iii) Downloaded and installed the iTunes-LAME 2.0.7 disk image but on seeing the later comments in this thread, deleted or renamed any lame files currently installed and instead installed LAME-3.9.61 from the Thalictrum site.

My problem is that I get *nothing* out of either the Squeezebox or from Softsqueeze. The AlienBBC option is showing up under Internet Radio but when I try and play a stream (say Radio4 Live) I get a short 'Connecting' message then nothing. I have re-cycled the server several times but still no luck. Given that I can get a stream at the command-line using mplayer, and that the plug-in itself shows up correctly, what am I missing? Any help much appreciated, I've spent hours on this tonight. :-) I'm worried that there is something left-over from my 6.5b1 SlimServer install that is borking 6.2/3 Plugins. I will try debug mode and see what I find tomorrow -- GeeZa GeeZa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5563 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24480 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Phil, Good to see you are still tweaking this plugin. Just thought I would let you know that I am running the current trunk (6.5b1) w/ a modified version of the plugin that chris provided in an earlier thread. Channels tune without problem but the now playing title is the channel name not artist-song-album as before. That info is in the output but isn't making it to the display or web ui. Let me know if you're interested in debug output.

Is there a chance that your SB3 is not active/connected when you get the crash? There is a known error in my XM stuff that it will crash the server if you access the *web* XM interface when there is no SB on the network actually connected to the server. Check this out and let me know if this might explain your problem... I do intend to fix this in an soon to be upcoming release. pmf -- philf philf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3159 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=19791 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Recording plugin?
pasodoble, you don't say what OS you are using. Depending on this, there are programs for the computer that record the currently playing sound, and there will be scripts that could be used to turn this program on and off. And then there is the Execute Script plugin for the SB, which can make the computer run these scripts. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25038 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

pasodoble Wrote: > I just want to record anything I'm listening to on the Squeezebox at > that moment Do you mean *absolutly* everything, or more specifically internet radio streams? If it's files on your own PC, then why not just transfer them onto your DAP (Digital Audio Player - i.e. iPod etc)? For internet radio streams there are several freeware apps out there that will let you download the streams to hard drive. Can't remember their names off hand, and i have them at home instead of here. Depending on the type of stream (RealAudio, WMA, etc.) you might need to convert them to something your player can cope with, but this should be too hard to do.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: AlienStream playlist and slimserver 6.3
Don't bother with the SB2 - stick with the same config (i.e SoftSqueeze) and focus on the problem. Talksport only works with WMA built in disabled so working SoftSqueeze is the best way to go. Version of Softsqueeze is irrelevant as long as it is 2.x.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Recording plugin?
Looks like I'm being as clear as mud on this thread, eh? All right let's start from what I want to do. I just want to record anything I'm listening to on the Squeezebox at that moment with a couple of button presses on a remote. I don't care if it's done from the Squeezebox or something external to it, via analog or optical. I want that recorded show to be portable in terms of format, i.e. MP3 or AAC so that I can stick it on an iPod. I will not be near the computer so if the SB won't do it I guess I need another 'box'. I need it to be simple and reliable... no 'bleeding edge' products with firmware workarounds, etc. It should also be as silent as the SB in operation. All I'm looking for really if you want to break it down is say a recording (either onboard or to a network) machine which is like a Minidisc deck but records to MP3/AAC. -- pasodoble pasodoble's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=454 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25038 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

WMA Builtin option is only relevant to SB2/3 since they do decoding built-in - SoftSqueeze requires a decoding app such as WMADEC or Mplayer on the PC/NAS. What OS are you using ?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienStream playlist and slimserver 6.3
I've not really had time to dig into this bug so this is less of a bug report and more of a "this didn't work for me". I just tried moving from slimserver 6.2.2 to 6.3 with AlienBBC 1.04. While BBC streams played fine I was unable to play this playlist with SoftSqueeze: #EXTM3U #EXTINF:-1,TalkSport mms://194.46.192.142/talkSPORT I tried with and without built-in WMA enabled. Softsqueeze just displayed "Unable to play mms://194." Downgrading back to 6.2.2 made this work again. I enabled just about every debug option but couldn't get any useful diagnostics. -- knigma knigma's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1054 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=25048 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
