Many thanks for that MrC - I was just reaching that conclusion reading about ld :) I've not really deleved this deep into the inner workings since Slackware 3 :)
I have it working now, so I'll document the solution (which it turns out was caused by me whilst trying to fix the earlier problems :) Using:- Slimserver 6.2b1 MPlayer dev-CVS-051016-01:47-3.2 with Bryan's latest demux_real patch AlienBBC 0.99 I'd got it to the point where the client would generate the message "RTSP convert error - check file types". This had me stumped until a grep -R "file types" * on slimserver turned up a mention in the web interface. Then I remembered - you set up the on-the-fly conversions in there, so went to check. Sure enough - no settings enabled for RTSP. Checking the RTSP-FLAC option produced another error in the web interface - missing binary - mplayer. More grepping and reading turns up the "checkBin" function, but it's not complainign about the actual binary (all present and correct, with world excutable permissions)- it's using a wrapper mplayer.sh. And this was where I found my "Doh!" cockup. Somehow, this shell script had changed owners to - of all things, the oracle dbms user!! Not quite sure how I did that.. Fixed the permissions and I could now select mplayer file conversions. FLAC didn't work though - possibly still too wide for the bandwidth limits I'd set on the player, but mp3 does and it's still going after 10 minutes. I heard a glitch in the audio (live Radio 2) about 2 minutes in but mplayer recovered fine. Thanks for working on this Bryan, and thanks to Neil for *the* killer Plugin for Slimserver. I'll test this as much as I can and give you some feedback later. -- Scooter _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
