The default setup of mplayer.sh uses /dev/fd/3 as the device to pipe output from mplayer to SC and on your system mplayer cannot open this device.
There is a fix to mplayer.sh in 2.5 for Ubuntu for accessing /dev/fd/3 but it does not seem to work for your systems. I tried to find out what is ahppening and it looks like /dev/fd/3 is in use by another process before mplayer. If that is the case then this may the cause of your problem. So test this - I suggest using /dev/fd/4 instead of /dev/fd/3 as 4 does not seem to be in use. To change device number requires changes to two AlienBBC files in /var/lib/squeezecenter/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/Alien. The custom-convert.conf and Bin/mplayer.sh 1. Change the /dev/fd/3 to /dev/fd/4 on the 4 RTSP lines of custom-convert.conf Code: -------------------- [mplayer.sh] -really-quiet -vc null -vo null -bandwidth 10000000 -cache 128 -af volume=0,resample=44100:0:1,channels=2 -ao pcm:file=/dev/fd/3 -------------------- 2. Change the reference to "3" to "4" in mplayer.sh Code: -------------------- exec 3>&1 sleep 0.1 -------------------- You will need to restart SC to get the custom-convert.conf change take effect. As before a log of the mplayer output is needed to see if access to /dev/fd/4 worked or not. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=65473 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
