I'm thinking about trying this out. Is this part of the latest release (AlienBBC v2.01 Beta1 for Windows and SqueezeCenter 7.1), and if not, is it compatible with that release? The only file that the patch changes is RTSP.pm - the rest are extra files? If I change that file and a new version

It's not compatible with 2.01 as RTSP.pm file was modified in 2.01. I need to supply an update for the 2.01. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread:

This usually happens if using IE. If using IE - simple answer - use Firefox. Alternatively if you can persuade IE just to download and save it (i.e. not open) - then rename the file to a zip extension but make sure extension are visible. -- bpa

I understand what is happening when using IE. IE by default will download the zip file and recompress it again in GZIP format. A format for which MS has not provided a decoder !! To unpack the IE downloaded file - rename the extension to GZ and then download something like WinRAR or WinZIP to
