Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Trouble with AlienBBC
I did a bit more digging - although in the OSDetect code, the conf files are hardwired for Debian to /etc/slimserver. There is code elsewhere to allow these conf files to be in the Plugins directory. It needs a bit more checking but I don't have Debian/Ubuntu. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39516 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
[SlimDevices: Unix] Trouble with AlienBBC
Hi All, I'm hoping for some help getting AlienBBC working on my Ubuntu 6.06 install. I've looked at a couple of sets of instructions, but no joy so far. The system specs look like this: SlimServer Version: 6.5.4 - 12568 - Debian - EN - utf8 Server IP address: 192.168.1.240 Perl Version: 5.8.7 i486-linux-gnu-thread-multi MySQL Version: 4.1.15-Debian_1ubuntu5 I installed mplayer (from the Ubuntu multiverse repo), and made sure that mplayer.sh is executable. I extracted the tarball into /usr/share/slimserver, and changed the file perms so that the .pm files are executable, but I don't see the plugin in server settings/plugins. I seem to have an issue when starting/stopping slimserver, in that I'm seeing a Perl error - I've no idea if it's related to the plugin problem. /home/glenn/Cache/my.cnf: Permission denied at /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Utils/MySQLHelper.pm line 178. 2007-10-21 12:22:02.4036 Use of uninitialized value in sprintf at /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Utils/MySQLHelper.pm line 467. Can anyone help with things to check to find out where/how I messed up?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Trouble getting AlienBBC to work with Debian
Thanks for all the replies. It seems that I'd just installed the AlienBBC plugin to the wrong directory. When I re-installed AlienBBC to /usr/share/slimserver (as Gleam suggested) then it all sprang into life and I'm now happily listening to Radio4 Thanks again guys -- Stoker --ian Stoker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8264 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34460 ___ unix mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
[SlimDevices: Unix] Trouble getting AlienBBC to work with Debian
Hi all I recently build myself a Debian Linux server from an old PC with the intention of using it to run SlimServer. I managed to get Slimserver (Version 6.5.1-11206) up and running very easily and I am now using it to stream to my SqueezeBox. Unfortunately, I'm having a lot of trouble getting AlienBBC to work with this system (about 12hours of trying so far!). I followed the installation instructions on http://www.x2systems.com/AlienBBC/installation.html#linux however when I restarted slimserver at the end (I did this by re-booting my debian PC, several times) I could not see AlienBBC anywhere on the slimserver web interface. I also couldn't find it using my Squeeze box using my remote control. So I guess I did something wrong. My main slimserver directory seems to be /etc/slimserver and not /usr/local/slimserver as the instructions suggest. Is this OK? I tried running './slimserver.pl -d_plugin' in a shell from /etc/slimserver as the instructions suggest but it seems I don't have the file slimserver.pl (I did a search and couldn't find it anywhere on my system). I do have a directory /etc/slimserver/Plugins/Alien which contains a lot of pm files and some conf files. I chmoded all the files in this directory to be -rwxrwxrwx I installed mplayer using the instructions from the last post in this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17015. Mplayer seems to be working, I don't have a sound card so I can't hear anything but when I type mplayer somefile.flac from a command promt the text shown on the screen indicates that mplayer is playing the file. I have mplayer v1.0rc1. Any ideas or suggestions would be gratefully received. -- Stoker --ian Stoker's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8264 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34460 ___ unix mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Trouble getting AlienBBC to work with Debian
Start off by checking if installation looks OK. 1. Are there 3 RTSP entries in Server Settings/Filetypes ? 2. Are all the settings checked ? 3. If the above are OK - double check that you used the 6.5 installation of AlienBBC 1.06 and not the 6.2/6.3 version. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34460 ___ unix mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Trouble getting AlienBBC to work with Debian
I'm assuming you installed slimserver from one of the debian packages. If so, your base slimserver directory is /usr/share/slimserver, so you should untar alienbbc in that directory. I did that, and it's working like a charm for me. -- gleam gleam's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10531 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34460 ___ unix mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Trouble getting AlienBBC to work with Debian
Definitely check the version you installed. The link on the installation instruction page is to an older version. I was pulling my hair out trying to get things working on Ubuntu 6.10 this week and someone pointed this out. Turns out I was indeed using the wrong version of AlenBBC. -- ChrisNY ChrisNY's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5004 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34460 ___ unix mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
