Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Is Softqueeze still the best PC based player to use?
Thanks for the replies, SqueezeSlave doesn't sound right for me so I think I'll wait for the 7.3 release version.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Is Softqueeze still the best PC based player to use?
I'm just wondering whether there is a better solution to playing on the PC (or Mac) than Softsqueeze? I never got around to installing and and before I do I thought I'd see whether there are any better alternatives?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC:- I can now get Radio5Live Live!
Same URL!Damn I wish I knew that earlier. Still, with my way I can customise/re-arrange the Menus in AlienBBC to put it in with my other Radio Stations I guess. But thanks for that.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC:- I can now get Radio5Live Live!
OK, I'll say at the outset that I'm in the UK so I should be able to get this station anyway but it just wouldn't stream in Squeezecentre I'm using * Squeezecenter 7.2 - 22900 and AlienBBC plugin v2.2b1-7.1_7.2* Using the "Internet Radio-AlienBBC-BBC iPlayer Radio-Live Streams" path I can now stream just about all but no Radio 5 Live (Which displays as Radio 5 Live Live in the Listings). The URL is currently set as:- http://www.bbc.co.uk/fivelive/live/surestream.ram and will play correctly on my PC, launching MediaPlayer to play the stream. I've solved this by adding a different url I found in the source code of the BBC5Live streaming page. The Windows media stream as opposed to the RealAudio stream. _*How_to_get_BBC5Live_in_AlienBBC*_ In Squeezecenter:- Click *Settings* Choose the *Plugins* Tab Click *Settings* next to the AlienBBC Plugin Listing (v2.2b1-7.1_7.2 in my case) Click *Edit Menu* Scroll to the Bottom Click *New Entry* Name: *R5Live* (or Whatever you want to call it) URL: *http://bbc.co.uk/fivelive/live/live.asx* Click *Save* Then *Apply* Worked for me, I hope this helps someone else.

No firewall issue then... That TuneIn worked fine, Still no streaming from the AlienBBC plugin listed stations though.

I'll take a good look at it tomorrow to see if I can work out what's up. Could it be firewall related?

I also have an iMac, would there be any benefit running from that instead of Vista? After another install & reboot (didn't appear before rebooting PC) AlienBBC is now listed in my Settings/Plugins and also lists on my Squeezebox3. Unfortunately it won't connect to the streams, but that's something I'm going to tweak with before asking for any more help.

I've just installed 7.2 on Vista and in "C:\Program Files (x86)" I now have both a "SqueezeCentre" and a "SlimServer" Folder. Where should I direct the installer to send the files?
