Re: [slim] BBC App or iPlayer plugin?
OK, got BBCiPlayerExtra installed and working - great. Now, a very basic question. I am assuming that I can only access this plugin (and the Squeezebox BBC plugin) via my local Squeezebox server...so, I have to leave my PC running? Or buy a standalone server that can be left running? Would be nice if I was wrong but that is the way it is working for me. :-) -- Ponzy Ponzy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36123 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69031 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

I think that would be the perfect solution for me - but I am having an embarrassing beginner's problem. I have the BBC App installed but...here is the embarrassment, how do I access it on the Squeezebox Menu? I had thought there was a choice on the main menu for My Apps but it is not there, nor is there such a choice in Menus on Squeezebox.com. I can go to Internet Radio on the main menu and find the BBC there, but surely that is not the App? Anyway, there is no mention that I can find there of BBC2 Highlights or Most Popular... (I do have the BBC Plugin ticked on my PC based Server which is not seeing the two Booms...am working on that. Could that be the problem?) Really appreciate your patience bpa... -- Ponzy Ponzy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36123 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69031 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

For example, the one I have selected is Elaine Paige and the web URL is http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/b00qlkjn. Should this work in Favorites on the webui (It doesn't - I get the message Error - no items found)? Only had the Boom for a week but am loving it more and more...! -- Ponzy Ponzy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=36123 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=69031 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
