Hi,

I have successfully installed SC 7.2 svn on a Buffalo LinkStation MKI
with One ARM ARM926EJ-Sid(wb) rev 0 (v5l) Processor. SC is working fine
but I can not get AlienBBC to transcode rtsp streams.

I was using alienbbc-linux-v2.01b1_7.1.tar.gz but have recently started
again with the new alienbbc-linux-v2.2b1-7.1_7.2.tar.gz. The symptoms
are the same.

I have successfully compliled mplayer mplayer-1.0rc2 using the stdout
patches to mp_msg.c and ao_pcm.c. The fix point cook files haves also
been added prior to compiling. mplayer compiles OK. I can record
rtsp://rmlive.bbc.co.uk/bbc-rbs/rmlive/ev7/live24/radio2/live/r2_dsat_g2.ra
successfully to a WAV file and I can play the WAV file back on a windows
PC using windows media player (clear sound, no distortion). Playing the
WAV file using mplayer appears to do the right things in therminal
window with no errors but there is no sound as it is a headless system
with no sound device found. See below (playback was interrupted by
me):

Playing output3.wav.

AlienBBC is available in the SC web interface and I can use it to
stream Virgin Radio mp3 streams and BBC mp3 podcasts. However,
connecting to any rtsp (incl directly adding the above URL) provides
complete silence!!! I have replaced the contents of
Plugins/Alien/custom-convert.conf file with flipflips suggested
script:

rtsp wav * *
[mplayer] -really-quiet -vc null -vo null -bandwidth 10000000 -cache
128
-af volume=0,resample=44100:0:1,channels=2
-ao pcm:nowaveheader:file=- $FILE$ 2>/dev/null
rtsp mp3 * *
[mplayer] -really-quiet -vc null -vo null -bandwidth 10000000 -cache

-af volume=0,resample=44100:0:1,channels=2 
-ao pcm:nowaveheader:file=- $FILE$ 2>/dev/null 
| [lame] --silent -r -x -q $QUALITY$ -b $BITRATE$ - -
rtsp flc * *

-ao pcm:nowaveheader:file=- $FILE$ 2>/dev/null
| [flac] -cs --totally-silent --endian=little --channels=2
--sign=signed
--bps=16 --sample-rate=44100 --compression-level-0 -

I have set the ownership of the SC directory and all subfolders with:
chown -R squeezecenter:nogroup /usr/src/squeezecenter  and mplayer to
nobody with chown -R nobody:nogroup /usr/local/bin/mplayer

I am going round in circles with this! I am sure I am missing something
simple. Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Many thanks.

DrB.
