The distribution is a Ubuntu/7.04/Feisty-Fawn i386, running 2.6.21.1 kernel.
mplayer with this distribution is 1.0~rc1-0ubuntu9. slimserver is 6.5.2 from the slimdevices debian archive. AlienBBC is also latest release at v1.06_6.5 and installed per the instructions from http://www.x2systems.com/AlienBBC/installation.html#linux. The non-AlienBBC functions of slimserver are working as expected. I can also play wma and other non-opensource media links. I use amarok as my player and it works great linking up with the slimserver and using the firefox foxytunes web interface. All is good except for realaudio and AlienBBC. The AlienBBC plugin shows up on the slimserver plugin list. I can configure it as needed. I can also enable the RTSP in the server settings->file types-> file format conversion setup, and I can see that mplayer.sh is set to play the real audio file type. mplayer.sh file permissions allow user slimserver to play both mplayer and mplayer.sh and both are in the path. When I try to play an AlienBBC link, it shows up on the right-hand side of the server web page in the playlist and player. But the player status remains at "stopped" instead of showing "play" as a normal playing link. And of course, no sound is coming out (which is the problem). My favorite realaudio link is WUOT from the UTK campus in Knoxville, TN. rtsp://160.36.178.159:554/broadcast/wuot.rm?cloakport=8080,554,7070 I can play it with mplayer, mplayer.sh, directly from the console, and realplay and amarok from their gui. So, I know that mplayer is working correctly standalone; so why not through AlienBBC and slimserver ? The only clue I can find of what is wrong is in the /var/log/slimserver/slimserver.log file which shows error messages similar to what is shown below each time I try to play something through AlienBBC: 2007-05-05 22:29:27.7809 Use of uninitialized value in string ne at /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Music/Info.pm line 237. 2007-05-05 22:29:28.0236 Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Control/Commands.pm line 941. 2007-05-05 22:29:28.0244 Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Control/Commands.pm line 941. 2007-05-05 22:29:28.0604 Use of uninitialized value in numeric eq (==) at /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Control/Commands.pm line 943. 2007-05-05 22:29:28.7691 Use of uninitialized value in sprintf at /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Player/Playlist.pm line 740. 2007-05-05 22:29:38.5555 Use of uninitialized value in string ne at /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Music/Info.pm line 237. 2007-05-05 22:29:38.8567 Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Control/Commands.pm line 941. 2007-05-05 22:29:38.8572 Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Control/Commands.pm line 941. 2007-05-05 22:29:38.8663 Use of uninitialized value in numeric eq (==) at /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Control/Commands.pm line 943. 2007-05-05 22:29:39.3786 Use of uninitialized value in sprintf at /usr/share/perl5/Slim/Player/Playlist.pm line 740. This implies some type of perl error which is where I then get lost as to how to fix. I don't even know if perl is the problem or not, but I would like to get some help now in trying to get this working. realaudio is the only thing I still can't play with slimserver. The oddest part of it all is that it plays fine through the squeezebox when clicked through the slimserver web interface. I just cannot get it to play through the computer or serve out to other computers. -- freelsjd ------------------------------------------------------------------------ freelsjd's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4344 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35041 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
