Add a settings page to select timezone and now/nowsoon. - Auto detect if Alien is installed and enable Real. Default to MP3 and WM. - Clean up some strings. Fletch, Thanks for putting this patch together, I've applied it to my personal copy and it seems to be working well. It is something that I had worked on in the past, but never released. My personal copy of the 0.4.x had a basic web interface that allowed selection of timezone from a drop down list and format selection through radio buttons. I never got around to putting it up before life and SC7 got in the way. I think it is nice that you auto detect Alien, but I think that the official version of the plugin should default to MP3 only since that is all that a basic install of SC7 with a Slimp3 or Squeezebox one can play. Then if someone has a Squeezebox 2/3 they can enable WMA. I personally only have Slimp3's and only use Alien to play WMAs, I find that to many of the Real Streams have problems on my setup. So I would like the option of manually turning off Real Streams. I think the stream selection should be a setting in the web interface just like the time zone and now/nowsoon options since everyones setup is different. -Tom -- malsbury malsbury's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=39963 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

podder Wrote: I have installed linux fedora core 3 [...] Which version mplayer should I install cvs (20051128) or release (1.0pre7try2)? I have tried installing it with fileroller. It would not install so I had to install libmp3lame-3.96. I also installed libmp3lame-devel and libmp3lame-static. Then I tried to install live555 as mentioned in one of the posts but still no sound. I had this working on FC3 at while ago, but can't seem to find my notes now. I currently have AlienBBC working on a CentOS 4.2 system, which is Redhat/Fedora based. The trick for me to get it working on CentOS and I think also on FC3 was to install the w32codec on its own. I currently have w32codec-1.0-9.2.el4.mok.i386.rpm installed on my system since I use the Redhat EL4 repos. The closest one for FC3 that I found is here: http://tinyurl.com/zj6xp As for the version of mplayer, I would recommend using the pre7 version. I am currently successfully using version mplayer-1.0-52_pre7try3.el4.at.i386.rpm on my system. There is a FC3 version also availavble here: http://tinyurl.com/gqr8n After you install them, make sure that mplayer can decode RealAudio streams from the command line before you try and get AlienBBC working in SlimServer. From post http://forums.slimdevices.com/showpost.php?p=57215postcount=1: Code: * To test that the player works, run the following : mplayer rtsp://rmlivev8.bbc.net.uk/farm/*/ev7/live24/radio1/live/r1_dsat_g2.ra * You should see it connect and then start to decode; once it prints out 'Starting playback', you know all's well. I think that is all that I had to do... Install mplayer pre7, the w32codecs and extract AlienBBC to the plugins folder. If that doesn't work for you, let me know and I'll dig a little deeper into my setup and see if I changed or installed anything else. --Tom Malsbury PS: I would recomend installing via YUM instead of Fileroller so you don't get stuck in dependancy hell. -- malsbury malsbury's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22495 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] Annouce: Update to PublicRadioFan.com Plugin
I just wanted to post that I have updated the PublicRadioFan.com plugin so that it can parse and play more then just MP3 streams. I had previously posted a patched version that allowed playback of MP3, Windows Media and Real Audio streams that I had been using thanks to AlienBBC setting up the stream handling. This new update adds the stream selection to the Configuration Section. Now the user can choose to only retrieve MP3 streams like all previous versions of the Plugin, or chose MP3 and Windows Media if they have a Squeezebox2/3 and let all the decoding be handled directly on the hardware player or chose MP3, Windows Media and Real Audio if they have a working install of AlienBBC to handle the transcoding on the server for any generation of hardware player or SoftSqueeze. Right now the configuration still needs to be done by editing the plugin. I am planning on adding a limited WebUI so these settings can be changed from the SlimServer Setting Page. The new version and updated installation documents are on my site: http://www.malsbury.net/~slim/ Please let me know if this works as expected, or if you have any problems. --Tom Malsbury -- malsbury malsbury's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=22386 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Question about AlienBBC mplayer.sh
I have been using the mplayer.sh that is included with AlienBBC to stream RealAudio and Windows Media streams without problem. I was also glad to see that it would work to transcode local Windows Media files (I had been using ffmpeg previously). It was brought to my attention in another thread that mplayer now can also handle Apple AAC (Lossy) and ALAC (Lossless) files. I have been using FAAD2 to transcode AAC files. I have a set of files that I use for testing new formats (song.mp3, song.wma, song.m4a, lossless_song.m4a, etc) I added that following line to the slimserver-convert.conf file and as simple as that, it worked! Slimserver could play both AAC and ALAC files from the test folder. Code: mov mp3 * * [mplayer.sh] -really-quiet -vc dummy -vo null -cache 128 -af volume=8,resample=44100:0:1,channels=2 -ao pcm:waveheader:file=/dev/fd/3 $FILE$ | [lame] --silent -q 1 -b $BITRATE$ - - I thought, that it was too easy, and it turned out that it is. When I tried to play a song from my library, it wouldn't play. After much head scratching, I realized the only difference was the file name structure. The AAC and ALAC files in my library have spaces in the title. I renamed the test file that had played as a single name with spaces and it will no longer play. I checked with the WMA files that I have, which I have been using mplayer.sh to play. They are all single spaced names with no space. If I add a space, they no longer play. In short: 'song.wma' and 'song.m4a' play with mplayer.sh 'name of song.wma' and 'name of song.m4a' do not play through mplayer.sh FAAD2 and ffmpeg had no problem with slimserver passing $FILE$ that had spaces in the title. And mplayer can play both 'name of song.wma' and 'name of song.m4a' from the command line if I \ the spaces. I wonder if anyone has an idea why mplayer.sh would fail if $FILE$ contained spaces? I know there has been an interest in playing ALAC files on Linux, and this seemed like a simple solution that does work, with one glaring problem. --Tom Malsbury -- malsbury malsbury's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=57 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=18852 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

I should add that I'm running on Windows XP, if that makes any difference. That makes all the difference. Most people that are successfully running this plugin are running it on linux or OSX. It requires two addition Perl modules that are not included in the standard window .exe build of Slimserver. Specifically HTML::Treebuilder and HTTP::Cookies. These are easy enough to install on a Linux system, but present more of a problem when Slimserver is running under Windows. The first step is going to be installing something like ActiveState's perl distribution for Windows and runing Slimserver directly from the slimserver.pl script. Next you will have to look at the errors given during startup stating which modules were not found. Then you will have to install them. I know this was attempted last year with limited success. You can read the thread on the old archives at: http://lists.slimdevices.com/archives/discuss/2004-November/037991.html I know this wasn't the quick easy fix you were probably hoping for, but at least you know that you are not the only one to have this problem.

Perhaps the other poster did not already have Alien BBC installed (in which case, I assume he could not have played Real Audio streams). Yet again, this device (and all the software for it) blows me away. Thanks for the pointer, that was very helpful! Glad to hear that you got it working. There are a few options that you can set in the plugin code itself. You need to set your time zone and whether it looks for progams currently playing or also include shows that are going to start shortly. Just edit out the # for your time zone and edit out the # in the now / nowsoon section to make your choice. As it stands, the PublicRadioFan plugin only searches the site for stations that are streaming in a MP3 format. When the plugin was written that was all SlimServer was able to play in a streamed format. I am currently working on updating it to also parse out RealAudio and WindowsMedia streams since they can now be played as well. I have a rough hack in place where it can parse out and play either MP3, WM or RA stream. The only problem is that the plugin, as written, can only look for one format type at a time. I don't have enough perl skills yet to alter the code to look for multiple format type simultaneously. If anyone would like to give me a hand with it, I'll take all the help Ican get.

Oh, BTW, what's the hack for streaming other formats?
To play WindowsMedia Stream I make the following changes:
where it says:
my $musicurl = $directory_url?when=$when\type=music\sty=mp3;
my $nonmusicurl =
$directory_url?when=$when\type=non-music\sty=mp3;
Change To:
my $musicurl = $directory_url?when=$when\type=music\sty=wm;
my $nonmusicurl =
$directory_url?when=$when\type=non-music\sty=wm;
Where it says:
if ($showwalker-look_down('alt','[MP3]'))
Change To:
if ($showwalker-look_down('alt','[WM]'))
To play RealAudio, the change is to sty=ra and [RA]
You will need to restart SlimServer after the changes. I generally
keep mine set to WindowsMedia since all of my local NPRs stream that
way.
This change will play about 90% of the streams it parses out since some
stream urls are wrapped in a playlist. If you pick one of these
streams it won't crash, it simply wont start the stream. I then just
move on an pick another station that is streaming the show in
question.
