It just needs to be able to be capable of being found when running it. I
keep my copy in /usr/local/bin, but
/var/lib/squeezeboxserver/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/PlayHLS/Bin
should be fine too. - eg. once you have it on your Rpi do:
Code:
--------------------
$ cp playhls.pl /usr/local/bin
# always worth making sure it's executable.
$ chmod +x /usr/local/bin/playhls.pl
--------------------
While avconv was compiling I've tweaked the Triode iPlayer urls so
things just keep getting better all the time - no thanks to the BBC, to
whom I've also fired off a few more mortars.
I also added the -compression_level 0 option suggested by bpa, to
further reduce the CPU load (it's now running around 70%cpu on an old
model B both running a server and a squeezelite driving my wolfson audio
card).
Code:
--------------------
hls flc * *
# RB:{BITRATE=-B %B}T:{START=-ss %s}
[playhls.pl] -loglevel quiet -i $FILE$ -f flac -compression_level 0 -
--------------------
Am happy again. the 320k streams are quite nice, just wished the BBC
would have organised the switchover a bit better...
