[SlimDevices: Plugins] Missing Alien Playlists
I posted this puzzle initially in the SC forum, to no avail, and I'm wondering if the Alien guys here have a comment, as almost all of the missing radio streams are via Alien. Here's what I wrote in this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66357 ___ While doing a big flac2mp3 transcode (and very good it is too) I temporarily pointed SC to my back-up HDD (so from the usual to ). HDD L is a mirror of HDD Q (using BounceBack Pro). My designated PLAYLIST folder in each case is actually called RADIO and contains only saved net radio streams (mostly from Alien BBC). Although that PLAYLIST folder appeared in the left hand pane (I use CLASSIC view), with its usual contents, trying to play a radio stream merely produced an EMPTY message in the right hand pane - no radio. (I can get the streams to play by selecting them direct from Alien or whatever...). This morning - transcode completed - I pointed SC back to the usual Q:\ HDD, hoping that my radio PLAYLISTS would be there. Well, they are - but again if I try to play one, I just get EMPTY as a message (and again I can still play direct from Alien). In each case, I could play all the saved Flac albums from their respective subfolders under MUSIC FOLDER without any problem - it's just mt radio playlists that are non-functional. So where have my working playlists gone? Do I have to rebuild them from scratch by finding them, playing them, and re-saving them into the PLAYLIST folder? If so, why? -- agbagb AGB SqueezeCenter Version: 7.3.2 - 24695 under Vista. 2 x SB3s, wireless, usually in sync. (Firmware 123 on both) LinkSys WRT54GX2 / SRX 200 Router, WPA2.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Missing Alien Playlists
I'm talking about live, streaming radio, not the "play it again" stuff (with as you say, limited availability). Here's the BBC R3 Alien live stream that I was listening to every day via my saved Playlist (last saved over a year ago): http://127.0.0.1:9000/browsedb.html?hierarchy=playlist,playlistTrack&level=1&noEdit=1&playlist.id=12160&player=00%3A04%3A20%3A07%3Ae1%3Ac2 That now comes up as "Empty", as described above. I can listen to the R3 live stream via Alien itself (ie, without saving it as a Playlist) and, at this very moment, it is: http://127.0.0.1:9000/plugins/alien/index.html?index=0.3&player=00%3A04%3A20%3A07%3Ae1%3Ac2&sess= Of course I could just save it again, and solve my problem that way.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Thinking about getting a Squeezebox to here Live365
Hello, I am thinking about getting a Squeezebox so I can to listen to Live365 stations when I away from my computer while retaining the option of listening to my XM radio. I like to listen to Old Time Radio. A lot of Live365 stations broadcast Old Time Radio. The problem is that few of these stations provide a schedule of the shows that will air on a day. I like to schedule my listening to here shows that I like. The "Now Playing" tab is usefull, though I have to be near a computer to look up the current and upcomming tracks.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Missing Alien Playlists
What you have done is nothing to do with Alien and I cannot help. I don't think those sort of links are useful are they are not the proper URL and will probably break when AlienBBC is updated or the database ids changed as it depends on the assigned playlist id. It is best to save the actual BBC URL in a playlist or a Favorite. As a side issue - many BBC link have changed in the last year and so it is timely to update them. 1. The main live national stations nolonger need Alien as all user can play the WMA stream and are available under Internet Radio/More radio/BBC - play the station and save it as a Favorite if you wish. For example - Radio 3 Live http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/listen/live/r3.asx 2. The local/regional radio stations still need Alien for a while yet - again play the radio station and save it as a Favorites. For example the proper URLs are Local Radio London is http://www.bbc.co.uk/england/realmedia/live/localradio/london.ram or Radio Scotland http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/playlive/bbc_radio_scotland Once saved as a Favorite you can copy the URL into a playlist. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66391 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Missing Alien Playlists
Thanks for that. I hadn't realized - with respect to your Point #1 - that the Beeb was available in this format outside the UK (I'm a Birkenhead lad living in Dallas, TX), so I'll go that route and save new playlist URLs. I guess I still need Alien outside the UK for all the Beeb archive stuff for now? I don't playlist those anyway - for obvious reasons - so I just access them as needed via Alien. The big deal for me is to solve my missing Radio 5 Sports Extra for the 4th Test tomorrow! Still a puzzle as to why *all* my playlist streams stopped working.

The availability of WMA stream (albeit at 48kbit) outside of the UK was only enabled in June so you can play the live stream through SqueezeNetwork - no need for SC.

I'm sure this has been covered in other threads that I've missed - but does that mean that, for now, the Alien route to the live R3 stream is better quality than the "direct" route?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC and 7.4
Hi I'm running Vista 64 on a WHS. I'm trying to get AlienBBC both installed and running but I'm not having much luck. I have this line typed into the Download Extender Additional repositories: http://alienbbc.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/testrepo.xml I click apply. I'm not sure what I'm meant to do from then on. I see no new entries to the plugins listed in the plugins tab at all. Should I also select AlienBBC for 'install' in the Download Extender tab? If I do this then I get AlienBBC v2.5 in the plugin tab and not 2.6. This is all seems a bit convoluted so I'm not sure what I'm meant to be doing TBH.

> > the Alien route to the live R3 stream is better quality than the > "direct" route? > It doesn't matter how you get to the WMA URL as they all play the same stream. AlienBBC 2.5 only lists the RealAudio Radio 3 but AlienBBC 2.6 beta test has both WMA and RealAudio listings. However why use the AlienBBC listing when there is an SC entry. Both WMA and RealAudio have the same bitrate so the quality difference depends on the difference between the WMA and RealAudio codecs. The RealAudio stream can still be useful sometimes if the WMA stream is "busy" and won't connect. However using the WMA stream means no transcoding load on your PC. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=66391 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
