Thanks for explaining the situation regarding versions of mplayer.
Somewhere in the middle of the main mplayer site I managed to find
2005.04.16, Saturday :: MPlayer 1.0pre7 released
which gives the answer I was looking for.

Did you by any chance reload mplayer or the codecs when you reloaded

One thing I noticed (on the Mac, and I have no idea if it is the same

codecs in different places. Two possibilities are /usr/local/lib/codecs

O would very strongly recommend that you disable this, and simply set

possibilities to try.

was just me. Changing the group to 'admin' solved my problem,
though I must admit that I didn't exactly see why this worked (maybe
someone with Unix experience can explain) as 'group' and 'other' had
the same permissions, so I would have expected it to run ok as 'other'.

I used to have AlienBBC working fine, but since the upgrade from
Panther to Tiger, iT sometimes seems to work fine and sometimes gets

is that you should try them out, but as mplayer is just a
Unix executable file, and cook.bundle is a Mac thing whose key item is,
inside it contents, a codec just called cook, maybe some of our Unix

As stated in the AlienBBC instructions, and elsewhere, next thing to do
is to test mplayer on a BBC stream.
If that is working, then try AlienBBC as per the instructions but
probably changing the app=mplayer line to point to the full path for
mplayer (best in /usr/local/nin)
