AlienBBC v2.02 Beta1 is working for fine for me (OSX 10.5.4), but only after I replace the default mplayer.sh with one I copied from an earlier version of the plugin.
Now, what I can't understand is why Alien only works with my 'old' mplayer.sh file. I probably altered it in some way, to cater for my particular instal of mplayer, but for the life of me I can't remember WHAT I changed! Looking at the old and new files, I can't see any difference in the link to mplayer app, so I don't really know what makes the old file work! Could someone take a look, and tell me the 'difference'?
