Here is an update suggestion:  I am a huge bpa and triode fan and am
very grateful for their work in bringing the new HLS streams back
online.  I am in the US but I am using Smart DNS which should result in
the higher bitrates for BBC 3's on demand programs.  To test it out, I
tried the BBC 3 on demand program "Essential Classics" for Monday
8/24/2015.  BPA's iPlayer Extras plugin (v1.8) resulted in the 320 kbps
version while Triode's iPlayer plugin (v1.3.1alpha3) resulted the 128
kbps version. There is a difference in the URL each is using, and that
probably is what is causing the different result.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC schedules give "no programs found"

2009-02-20 Thread jdavies

I just upgraded to AlienBBC 2.4a5test-7.3, and it works fine.  All the
BBC Radio 3 "other episodes" seem to be there, and the "schedule" 
listing looks complete.  Thanks!!

I have a Roku M1000, and to get my player to work, I did have to
manually add lame 3.98.2 to the bin folder and I had to remove the "-x"
parameter from the rtsp mp3 line in custom-convert.conf.  Maybe you
could build these changes into the upgrade.

I also had to set the Audio Start Time to 10 (although this setting did
survive the upgrade).

bpa,

I installed your custom-types.conf file in place of the old and deleted
the FileCache folder and stopped and started SqueezeCenter.  Still "no
programs" under Radio 3/schedule, and, under Radio 3 I'm still getting
the same partial listing - one or two episodes each. 

Here is what I get:

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC schedules give "no programs found"

2009-02-18 Thread jdavies

OK -- I deleted the entire FileCache folder (and all subfolders) and
stopped and restarted SqueezeCenter -- and it worked!  I now have all
the listings back that I had earlier this morning under AlienBBC/Radio
3.  (The listings are still not complete; for example, there is only
one "Breakfast" listing.  But I think that may be due to the change in
the BBC website that you mentioned a couple of days ago.)

Thanks!!

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC schedules give "no programs found"

2009-02-18 Thread jdavies

The radio timeout setting is 5.

As for what I was doing before this happened, I was checking the
AlienBBC/Radio 3 - schedule listing -- and that said "no programs
found" and then when I returned to the regular "AlienBBC/Radio 3"
listing it then said "no programs found".  Before I checked the
AlienBBC/Radio 3 - schedule listing (a half hour earlier), I did get
some programs listed as I scrolled down AlienBBC/Radio 3.  Now I get
nothing at all under AlienBBC/Radio 3 (I don't even get "schedule"). 
It's now been 5 hours -- and still nothing.

I have tried stopping and starting SqueezeCenter -- to no avail.  

Is there a way to empty the cache manually?

As of 1:40pm EST (Philadelphia) on 2/18/09, AlienBBC Radio 3 Listen
Again reports "no programs found."

The Alternative Listen Again for Radio 3 does still list all the
programs, however.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC 7.3 version - beta trial

2008-12-30 Thread jdavies

I have SqueezeCenter (7.3.2) and AlienBBC (v2.4a4-7.3) on Windows Vista.
I also have Lame.exe (3.98.2) in the same folder as mplayer.exe.  I
have an SB1 player (actually, its a Roku Soundbridge M1001).  It all
works beautifully to play the BBC live and listen again streams. 
Thanks bpa and Triode!  

To get it to work, however, I had to do two things -- that are the
reasons for this post:  

1.  I had to remove the lame "-x" param from the custom-convert.conf
file (in the rtsp mp3 line).  Simply changing it to "$-x$" did not
work.  With the "-x" param, all I got from the BBC was static.  I had
to do this again when I upgraded the AlienBBC to v2.4a4 because the
custom-convert.conf file was overwritten.  By the way, removing the
"-x" param was not necessary with Lame 3.97.  

2.  Also, I had to set the "audio start time" in the SqueezeCenter to
10 (rather than 0).  Otherwise, the live BBC streams would not play
(the listen again streams would play but not the live streams).  I'm
guessing its a buffering problem.
