Re: [slim] SqueezeCenter and real media streams in favorites
When you make an entry in Favorites - it tests the URL to see is it a playable or playlist URL - if it is it is marked as playable with the little play icon. For some reason although AlienBBC has registered the .rm .ram as playlist extension - the test fails and so when you click on your URL entries, SC tries to interpret the URL as a menu link which are in XML. Workaround: Stop SC. Edit the favorites.opml (using Wordpad if on Windows) and add to the end of your .ram and .rm entries type=audio for example Code: outline URL=http://wgnradio.com/listen/liveWGN.ram; text=WGN ram entry type=audio / I don't know if it is a AlienBBC bug or a Favorites bug - I suspect the latter but I don't have time at the moment to chase it down. I think you should log a bug for it with a number of the problem URLs so it isn't forgotten. Finally, I don't understand why the change I suggested worked on my system and not yours.

Thanks bpa. All of your efforts have been much appreciated! I'll log it as a bug.

Re: [slim] SqueezeCenter and real media streams in favorites
I checked Favorites behaviour in more detail. When it checks the target URL - it uses the return MIME type (and not the extension) to determine if the target an audio stream or not. The addition of audio/x-pn-realaudio fixes the problem on both my Windows and Linux systems for those URLs which return that MIME type. For live streams (i.e. .rm) there is a different MIME type audio/x-pn-multirate-realaudio-live and for .rpm URLs have audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin. There may be others. To be correct these MIME types should be added to AlienBBC so that Favorites can do this checking (which was not done in MyPicks). Can you post some of your URLs and I'll check to see if there are are more MIME types. I'll then update AlienBBC. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44972 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SqueezeCenter and real media streams in favorites
Odd, I can't find favorites.opml anywhere. In regards to other real streams, there aren't too many others that I use. Sometimes this one: http://wsui.uiowa.edu/ram/wsui_stream.ram Thanks again. -- Bixby Bixby's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9411 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44972 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SqueezeCenter and real media streams in favorites
If you have a Playlist directory defined - check if favorites.opml is installed ther. The wsui URL has a mime type of audio/x-pn-realaudio. I've come across only two other MIME types, so my list of RealAudio MIME type is as follows: audio/x-realaudio audio/x-pn-realaudio audio/x-pn-multirate-realaudio-live audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin application/ram Adding the above types to the custom-type.conf file should get rid of the xml error and also will give a play icon on each Favorites. I tested the custom-type.conf change on a Windows XP system and the WGN ram URL worked OK for me. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44972 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

The same functionality is in SC.

Re: [slim] SqueezeCenter and real media streams in favorites
There is something odd in Favorites about handling playlists and RAM is a playlist. Instead use the URL rtsp://live.wgnradio.com:5544/encoder/wgnlive.rm However to play that station make sure you have installed the sipr codec for mplayer as that station uses the old format. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44972 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] SqueezeCenter and real media streams in favorites
The issue seems to be something to do with identification of playlist. If you change the file custom-types.conf in Plugins/Alien as follows (add the 2nd rtsppl line) - then the RAM URL works although I'm not sure if it will work for all RAM URLs. Code: rtsppl rm,ram,rpm ? playlist rtsppl ? audio/x-pn-realaudioplaylist rtsprtsp: ? audio smilpl smilapplication/smilplaylist -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44972 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] SqueezeCenter and real media streams in favorites
The suggested mod seems to prevent system startup on occasions - try the following instead. On the rtsppl line the ? is changed to the MIME value.

Re: [slim] SqueezeCenter and real media streams in favorites
I changed the '?' to 'audio/x-pn-realaudio', as suggested. Restarted Squeezecenter. Still nothing. When I use the .ram link, I get invalid xml feed error. When I use the .rm link I get a cannot request non-http URL error. Is this a bug or a feature? Of Alien BBC or Squeezecenter? This worked fine in 6.5.4 with My Picks plugin. And I can listen via the 'tune in URL'. Just not via a Favorite. Frustrating.
