OK, I've done a bit more checking and would suggest the following. Go to http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=62947
which gives a whole lot of downloadable files. In the section "mencoder and mplayer" download a suitable 'lastbinary' (there's one for Tiger only and one for earlier versions). In the section "ffmpegX_recommended_bins" download reallib.zip These give the program and the codec you need, and these should work well together (they do for me, but you may have to check). You have to put them in the right place. mplayer is probably best in /usr/local/bin. Remember that you don't have to do anything clever in Terminal to put things in this normally invisible folder, you can just use "Go to Folder" in the Finder's Go menu. The only codec you need is cook.bundle. It seems that with the latest mplayer this codec needs to be in the folder /usr/local/lib/codecs (which you have to create), though earlier versions of mplayer expected it in /Library/Application Support/ffmpegX/reallib. Now test mplayer on a suitable stream. Open terminal and run as suggested in the AlienBBC instruction page (I don't give details here, as the path gets truncated in the forum). You may, depending on your setup, have to type mplayer ... or possibly /usr/local/bin/mplayer. If this doesn't work, you need to do more checking. The log produced my player may help. If it does work, you know that mplayer is fine, and you just have to get AlienBBC working. Follow the instructions on the AlienBBC page. If you don't get any sound when playing a stream, the likelihood is that mplayer.sh needs modifying, replacing app=mplayer by app=/usr/local/bin/mplayer -- danco _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
