Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] aac streams on SC 7.2: where does mplayer go on a mac?
I've been using my SB3 with the shiny new AACplus streams for a few days now, and I notice that when a station (such as Paradise) has the facility to provide a readout on the SB of what's playing (after you press Now Playing), it takes quite a while for the Now Playing readout to change to match the actual playing track. In other words, there's a delay between the song changing and the readout changing. Is there anything I can do at my end to fix the delay? It wasn't like this when I was using 6.5.x - in fact it was a more or less instant change. -- whitman whitman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9053 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56028 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] aac streams on SC 7.2: where does mplayer go on a mac?
It's a known problem due to fact that SC doesn't know SB is playing a Flac stream - SC thinks it is a slow AACplus (e.g. 128 or 48k bit) streams as guesses the amount of music time in the SB buffer wheras SB has a 1500kbps Flac stream and has about 10 or 20 times less music time buffered. Problem is much worse with slow streams. AACplus hooks into SC in an unapproved way to enable the radio text to be displayed - if I used the Normal transcodiong like Alien - there would be no text at all. The method also meant a full blown Plugin did not have to be developed. I do not want to maintain another plugin. I might be able to do something in 7.3 as there have been changes which look promising. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56028 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] aac streams on SC 7.2: where does mplayer go on a mac?
Lots of things see announcement but there was a rewrite of the streaming (incl. transcoding) module which improves the sync capabilities. I think the rewrite can enable me to tell SC that that trnascoding to Flac is being used and so A beta feature is enabling SB controller to be a SB player and so user can use SC/listen through earbuds on a portable SB. The other feature (which will be better in 7.3.1) is Extensions Download - basically automated Plugin installation - no more downloads, unzips and wondering where to save. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56028 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] aac streams on SC 7.2: where does mplayer go on a mac?
I see. It sounds like SC is trying to get to where it really needs to be: a place where users can install things easily without pulling out too much hair in the process. Assuming one has any hair left in the first place. Seriously: this sounds like a good development. I'm still enmeshed in the pain of very recent upgrading to 7.2.x from 6.5.x, but I can't help myself to ask: is it a good time to step up to 7.3? Or maybe I ought to wait a bit.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] aac streams on SC 7.2: where does mplayer go on a mac?
The automated installer will be very good as it should simplify installs, make sure correct versions are installed and notify when updates are available. However it will still depend on the extension author to create the right package and since this is a new facility - I expect some teething problem with initial implementation For people who want least amount of stress - do complete system backups often. - Use a mainstream platform - not a minority one. - Do not install unnecessary s/w (i.e. no trials, demos etc) or addons. - don't tweak the system for any reason (e.g. not for faster download or uses less memory or more responsive) - never upgrade unless you really have to (i.e. the upgrade has a definite bug fix - not it might fix it) - never install a .0 - so in this case wait for 7.3.1 - if you must upgrade, allow some time (a few weeks) between release and actually upgrading. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56028 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] aac streams on SC 7.2: where does mplayer go on a mac?
Grey out means SC cannot find the executable that is specified in the custom-convert.conf file (i.e. aacpmplayer.sh). Either the files does not exist in the place SC expects or the file is not executable. Making a shell script executable is not AACplus specific. The shell script is just a variation of the AlienBBC one. So help from ANY mac user would be useful. This is a general OSX issue. In the mean time - the actual name of the file doesn't matter as long you can put the same name in the custom-convert.conf file. However I think if there are spaces in the name - it will cause problems. So if you can get the script files executable under any name - then use that name in custom-convert.conf and restart SC. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56028 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Ownership seems OK. Very odd behaviour. If I make a duplicate
('aacpmplayer.sh copy') it says it's a Unix executable file. If I
delete the 'copy' bit, it's back to a plain text file. If I leave a
space after sh, it stays executable. But I'm not convinced it is.
Perhaps I should take a step or two back and give a quick bit of
background. I just upgraded from SS 6.5.1 to SC 7.2.1. I am not running
Alien BBC as I'm using the BBC iPlayer plugin instead. That seems fine.
Some radio stations - from my point of view particularly Paradise and
JazzFM - have AACplus streams available, which I think are higher
quality than the top MP3 streams. In order to run AACplus streams on my
SB3, I've presumed I just need mplayer and this aacpm 'plugin'. But now
these probs. Maybe I should be content with MP3.
I'd be grateful for some help.

The trouble with OSX is that there are so few users around who can offer help. I don't have OSX so all I can do is make general suggestions. 1.

Thanks bpa. My hard drive's top level does indeed lead to /usr/local/bin with an mplayer file inside. But that might be a remnant from the old setup. How do I check convert.conf settings? This is sounding familiar - I think I had to do something to these for my previous 6.5.1 setup to get AAC Plus running. But I can't remember. Could you remind me what to do? I'd be grateful. -- whitman whitman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9053 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=56028 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
