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
