Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC 7.3 version - beta trial
I have followed what I understand to be the solution given in the thread that you referred to, but it has not solved the problem. To be precise, I used tar to extract all of the contents of the all-terminfo-files tarball. I have confirmed that /volume1/SSODS/share/terminfo/v/vt102 exists and restarted the TS109, but I still get the message that terminal type 'vt102' does not exist. In addition, I am getting the following messages in the SC server log 0419: mDNSResponderPosix: Error reading service file /volume1/SqueezeCenter/Cache/mDNS.conf 0418: [09-01-10 18:30:46.6242] Slim::Networking::Async::DNS::init (102) Warning: No DNS servers responded, falling back to OpenDNS. 0417: [09-01-10 18:30:41 ] ssctrl SqueezeCenter started. 0416: [09-01-10 18:30:14 ] ssctrl Command line = /volume1/SSODS/sbin/start-stop-daemon --start --chuid ssods --exec /volume1/SSODS/bin/perl -- /volume1/SqueezeCenter/slimserver.pl --daemon --pidfile /volume1/SqueezeCenter/Cache/squeezecenter.pid --cachedir /volume1/SqueezeCenter/Cache --logdir /volume1/SqueezeCenter/Logs --prefsdir /volume1/SqueezeCenter/prefs --noupnp --httpport 9001 0415: [09-01-10 18:30:13 ] ssctrl Starting SqueezeCenter 7.3.1-24372. The apparent DNS failure does not cause any problems for access to regular internet radio selections offered by Squeezebox, but access to anything provided by AlienBBC consistently fails. Addendum: I have realised what the problem is. My Squeezebox uses DHCP to get a network address & DNS information, whereas the TS109 has a fixed IP address and the DNS was not set properly. Regular internet radio works because it relies upon the Squeezebox, whereas AlienBBC requires that the TS109 can decode URLs. Once I re-set the DNS information for the TS109 the AlienBBC streams work properly. The missing vt102 information appears to be a minor blip rather than the real source of the problem.

2.4a-7.3 works OK for me when I test BBC 7 -> Schedule->Fri 9th. How many days get listed when you look at schedule ? MY SC versin is latest 7.3.2 but that should be an issue since it is AlienBBC which generates the list. At a guess there is something wrong in your setup or else network is timing out. 1. Stop SC. Delete alienbbc.opml file in your playlist or cache directory and then restart SC. 2. Increase Settings/Advanced/Network Station Timeout. The "Alternate Listen Again" uses the XML interface which is an alternate way of retrieving the programs instead of using web interface which can break.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC 7.3 version - beta trial
I would like to report another problem. I have tried to set up AlienBBC on a QNAP TS109 starting from a clean installation of Squeezecenter 7.3.1 and using the Download Extension procedure - today Jan 9th. The installation appears to complete successfully. I can access AlienBBC, locate the various live streams and listen again options. However, when I attempt to play anything - live or listen again - my Squeezebox says that it is connecting and then nothing happens. Same story for Radio 3, Radio 4 & Radio Scotland. I access the internet via a satellite connection through an ISP in Ireland. I am able to get BBC Radio live through an internet radio (Revo Pico WiFi). Further, I can play regular internet radio channels - e.g. WGBH Classical - without problems. Checking the Squeezecenter server log gives a whole series of messages of the following type: 0365: Streaming: Launching mplayer -really-quiet -vc null -vo null -bandwidth 1000 -cache 128 -af volume=0 -ao pcm:file=/dev/fd/3 rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk:554/radio3coyopa/radio_3_-_friday_0700.ra?timestamp=1231496473&pid=b00gdb46&BBC-UID=3439261766a90c6be4357a9b20f093783b0e3bb74080513434bf86cf30746f05&SSO2-UID= 0366: Terminal type `vt102' is not defined. 0367: [09-01-09 21:49:03.6010] Slim::Hardware::IR::executeButton (1088) Error: Subroutine for irCode: [play] mode: [] does not exist! 0368: Streaming: Launching mplayer -really-quiet -vc null -vo null -bandwidth 1000 -cache 128 -af volume=0 -ao pcm:file=/dev/fd/3 rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk:554/scotland/radioscotland/demand/news/rs_gms_fri.ra?timestamp=1231492813&pid=b00gdzmf&BBC-UID=3439261766a90c6be4357a9b20f093783b0e3bb74080513434bf86cf30746f05&SSO2-UID= 0369: Terminal type `vt102' is not defined. 0370: [09-01-09 21:50:16.7610] Slim::Hardware::IR::executeButton (1088) Error: Subroutine for irCode: [play] mode: [] does not exist! 0371: Streaming: Launching mplayer -really-quiet -vc null -vo null -bandwidth 1000 -cache 128 -af volume=0 -ao pcm:file=/dev/fd/3 rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk:554/scotland/radioscotland/demand/news/rs_gms_mon.ra?timestamp=1231147224&pid=b00gdtry&BBC-UID=3439261766a90c6be4357a9b20f093783b0e3bb74080513434bf86cf30746f05&SSO2-UID= 0372: Terminal type `vt102' is not defined. 0373: Streaming: Launching mplayer -really-quiet -vc null -vo null -bandwidth 1000 -cache 128 -af volume=0 -ao pcm:file=/dev/fd/3 rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk:554/scotland/radioscotland/demand/news/rs_gms_mon.ra?timestamp=1231147224&pid=b00gdtry&BBC-UID=3439261766a90c6be4357a9b20f093783b0e3bb74080513434bf86cf30746f05&SSO2-UID= 0374: Terminal type `vt102' is not defined.

In 7.3 Plugins can be installed in both the old server/Plugins location and the cache directory. The cache directory is used by the Extension Downloader. I think any manual installation should still be in the server/Plugins directory to prevent confusion about what had been installed manually vs automatically. The cache directory location for automatic downloads of Plugins may also change - in which case in future release (e.g. 7.3.1) the cache directory may not be valid for plugins. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53738 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC 7.3 version - beta trial
I'm assuming your problem is with the Alien 2.4a2 on Windows? If not please delete and use the "Extension Downloader" (found under Settings - Advanced" to download AlienBBC. For windows, this downloads mplayer the first time it starts and can take 2-5 mins to do this. There is a new section on the AlienBBC Settings page which shows the status of mplayer which should show it is downloading during this time. Once it has downloaded, there is a "test" link which can launch mplayer in a new window to test that it is installed ok. I had hoped to put some more instructions up on the Alien web site before 7.3, but did not manage it. Could you retry installing and check what the Mplayer status is on the AlienBBC setting page. -- Triode Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53738 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

All works fine for me, and the drop outs that made me switch to the BBC asx live streams in preference seems to have gone now (BBC, my ISP... who knows...). I have the new RTSP.pm file (as provided by awt on this forum) installed though, as the current download on the x2systems site does not seem to include it yet.

The server needs those to tell when the player has run out of data and stop for a few seconds to give it a chance to rebuffer properly. Without that you just get stuttering output.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC 7.3 version - beta trial
I upgraded from SC7.2 to SC7.3 (latest build) yesterday. All appeared to be fine, including streaming various BBC podcasts I have saved as a favourite. However, when I tried using Alien BBC, it just would not connect to any live or "listen again" streams. I just found your update and installed it. Problem solved, with all streams working perfectly once again :-). Incidentally I'm running SC7.3 on a 64-bit Windows 2k8 server with no problems at all. Thanks for your help.

BBCiPlayer only works UK listeners and provides higher quality MP3 streams so no server transcoding (less loading for low power server). AlienBBC uses the lower quality RealAudio streams.

I've attached an updated trial version of AlienBBC for 7.3. We posted a previous version of this with the last AlienBBC release, but people found problems with the 7.3 versions so we withdrew them. Please could users of 7.3 try the attached and post back here if it works for them. We will then add it to the main Alien download site. Please try with the latest version of 7.3 and post back to this thread including the exact build of the server you are using if you find a problem. +---+ |Filename: alienbbc-linux-v2.2b1-7.3.tar.gz | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=6027| +---+ -- Triode Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=53738 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
