Many thanks. You have helped to solve the problem with mplayer : the final piece in the jigsaw was to quote the URL of the stream to protect it from the shell. Mplayer now works and plays streams from the command line. Unfortunately that was clearly not the (only) problem as Slimserver still will not play streams from AlienBBC. The correct streamTitle is sent to the player but the server keeps saying 'stopped' and not 'playing'. The logfile contains nothing useful, and I'm not sure which of the debug options I should invoke. Any further guidance would be greatly appreciated.
