Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Player for BBC Radio (not in UK) for SlimServer
Thanks, both, for your suggestions. For now, I'll create the favourites as bpa suggests. But is there any solution that has a site browser like the AlienBBC one, but for the non-RealAudio streams? And has anyone yet cracked making a browser for the RTE radio web site that can crawl the Listen Back archives to find older programs? For instance, the Audio and Playlist Archive for Gloria on the Lyric FM web site has the last ten weeks programs, but the AlienBBC browser does not see any of them; I can save the latest one as a favourite - the name for the latest is fixed - but the file names for the older ones all incorporate the broadcast date in the name and so are new each week. Thanks again for the help.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Player for BBC Radio (not in UK) for SlimServer
Is there a player that will work for for BBC Radio, for listeners outside the UK and with older versions of SlimServer? My DS-207 runs SlimServer 6.54 and AlienBBC 1.06; it does not have enough memory to run a later version of SqueezeCentre. Now that the beeb has stopped broadcasting using Realaudio streams I can no longer get it on my Squeezebox, and have to resort again to long wave radio for my morning fix of BBC 4.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Adding new root-level folders to SlimServer
I am running SlimServer 6.5.4 on a Synology DS-207 NAS box. Because the DS-207 has limited memory and a relatively slow processor, upgrading to later versions of the Squeezebox server software is not an option - I have tried, and it runs impossibly slowly. I would like to add another base-level folder to the NAS box and have it appear in the Squeezebox menu at the same level as the Music Folder; e.g. Browse/Audiobooks Folder to appear in the same browse list as Browse/Music Folder. In other words, I want a folder for audiobooks (and maybe some others as well) that appear in the browse list /alongside/ Music, but not /inside/ Music. I would like the contents of this folder to be indexed separately from the Music folder and, for example, not included in the music random playlist. I realise that will require some re-programming of SlimServer as well as creating the new folders. Has anyone done anything like this? Can anyone offer any suggestions about how I might do this myself?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] RTE Program Archive
Has there been any change in this in the past year? Is there any new script that will work with Slimserver v6.5.3 that can parse the RTE websites for listenback inf any better than last year? I am stuck with Slimserver 6.5.3 for the present; It is running on an old NAS box (a Synology DiskStation 206) that hasn't the horsepower to run newer versions - indeed, it barely manages 6.5.3, sometimes taking more than 10 seconds to move down a menu level (i.e. to select a sub-menu; not just to scroll down the menu). However, as the NAS box is still working fine as a NAS box and as my principal backup repository, I have no overwhelming justification for changing it at present.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC Problem with BBC Listen Again
Good questions both. I cannot remember if I have ever searched for a Radio 4 program in Listen Again (by either route described in my original posting above). It's usually Radio 3 or BBC 7 that I am looking to listen to via Listen Again. As it happens, the program I was looking for (Radio 4's Early Music programme, broadcast on Fridays at 20:00 these past two weeks and for the next two weeks, as distinct from The Early Music Show on Radio 3) appears not to be available through Listen Again. As for a new install, no, this installation of SSODS and AlienBBC has been essentially unchanged for at least a couple of months, and probably since late last summer.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] RTE Program Archive
I have been trying RTEListenBack, and indeed it does the job just fine for the programs that have a straightforward Listen Back format. Thank you, bpa. The problem for me is that I really want to be able to listen back to Gloria, but Gloria has a unique file name for each Listen Back date, and only offers the last three or so weeks; also to Operas, but they appear not to have any Listen Back links (although Apres Opera does); and to the Lyric Concert, but that has a whole different page tree layout. If anyone does manage to create a website crawler that can build a menu structure from the RTE website, I would be very grateful. It would probably have to be so general that it could be used with any station website.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC Live streams not working
All of a sudden, BBC live streams are working again for me! I have no idea why. I /have/ been fiddling with AlienBBC, but nothing that should have affected this; I only installed a couple of plugins: MyPicks (to get radiofeeds.co.uk's menus) and WikiRadio (to get bpa's RTEListenAgain.opml script). Obviously I had to re-start Slimserver to recognise the plugins, but I had tried restarting the server before, without changing my previous inability to play BBC live streams. I am puzzled as to why they work now. Interestingly, listening to BBC Radio 4 via AlienBBC, it plays the Real Player stream satisfactorily; listening to Radio 4 (RP) selected through radiofeeds I get a message loop (voice) saying that the program is not available due to rights limitations; and if I try the Radio 4 (WMP) feed (or other BBC stations' WMP feeds) through the radiofeeds menu, I get a message saying ERROR: CAN'T CONNECT TO RETRIEVE PLAYLIST. Does anyone know what this last message means and what is the cause? Thanks, everyone, for all the help and for creating these programs and scripts. Especially thank you, bpa, for your efforts to help; I do appreciate it.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC Live streams not working
I have recently noticed that BBC Radio 3 and 4 live streams are not working; when I select one of the non-working items I get a message NO STREAM. I don't know when this started,, as I usually find myself listening to archived programs, and they are still playing. The odd bit is that the live streams do work if I point my browser at my Diskstation and play through the PC instead of the Squeezebox. What could be causing this? Has BBC changed its stream names? I am using Slimserver 6.5.3, SSODS v2.17 and AlienBBC v1.06. My DiskStation is a 207, with firmware v2.0.3-0462 Gerard Lardner -- GerardLardner GerardLardner's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=11817 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44294 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

No, I haven't applied any updates since I installed AlienBBC last year and discovered I had to patch AlienRTEMenu.pm (and some others you kindly pointed out to me at the time).
