Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC on OSX users - need help to prove/disprove problem
If you have changed nothing else apart from the mplayer and it was working before, then I think the problems are more likely at the BBC's end rather than with your system. It may just be that the BBC's servers are very busy at the weekend. Rather than spending too long pulling your system apart and putting it back together, I would be tempted to wait and see if it is any better later. -- WhaleOil WhaleOil's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5227 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43214 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC on OSX users - need help to prove/disprove problem
Trust me to be the kid in the class who can't do it right. I downloaded from that new mplayer link and it seemed to find its way automatically into local/usr/bin (joining my lame file). Checking other radio streams and it all works and in stereo. ALIEN BBC though now won't connect. Watching the right hand pane in SC7 the timer goes to about 8 seconds and then back to 0 without connecting. I've looked for a option to lengthen the time that it tries to connect - I remember one in 6.5 - but can't find one. BBC works through Staff Picks and Adam and Joe on BBC6 is in glorious stereo. Any ideas why Alien is not now happy?

mplayer.sh was modified not too long ago so that it could see mplayer inside the build of MPlayer that was available from the .hu site. I don't think anything easier than drilling down to find mplayer and copying it into /usr/local/bin can be done by a user at present, but it may be that mplayer.sh should have a further modification to allow for the version you have. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43214 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC on OSX users - need help to prove/disprove problem
bpa Many thanks - the latest build of mplayer at the site you linked to works perfectly with my G5 PowerPC. I can now join the happy bunnies with stereo Alien BBC (and going back to the start of this thread, can hear John Lennon just fine in the 'Kite sample'). By the look of it, this build seems to be a universal build that should work with both PPC and Intel - but I cannot check this. If this is the case, it would seem sensible to use this one for all mac users to avoid confusion. If it is of any help to others, I have installed mplayer manually in usr/local/bin rather than installing the package that comes with the download. This involves drilling down through the package to find the mplayer file and copying it to the usr/local/bin directory. I would be interested to know what the recommended approach is now and whether a more simple installation of the package should work just as well. I would be happy to test this out if it would be of any help.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC on OSX users - need help to prove/disprove problem
I can't give specifics on OSX but it is strange that mplayer works on other systems and not yours. Can you think of anything that could make your system special/ different ? In the meantime - I still think it is worth confirming that the new mplayer actually got installed. 1. Delete the mplayer file (not the mplayer.sh file) 2. Try running mplayer from a Terminal as before - and make sure you get an error such as "mplayer: command not found". If you still the get the missing library error then something is not right. 3. Install Triode's new mplayer binary, make executable 4. Repeat step 2 exactly - same directory etc. I think Triode is involved with 7.0 and Jive and it is a critical stage getting ready for release so he has limited time at the moment. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43214 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC on OSX users - need help to prove/disprove problem
Curious. The instructions in my previous posting will test a freshly downloaded mplayer with the Mr Kite sample. This test is independent of any AlienBBC or Slimserver installation. I've started Slimserver on my Mac and followed the instructions for installing AlienBBC on http://www.x2systems.com/AlienBBC/installation.html#mac I moved the mplayer binary I tested yesterday from /Downloads to the required /usr/local/bin location for AlienBBC. Everything all works very well for me. You can see the list of files that mplayer is using by starting Activity Monitor (in /Applications/Utilities and then starting mplayer. While mplayer is active, select it in the Activity monitor window, then clicking the Inspect button. In the window that opens, select the Open Files and Ports tab. Here's the list of open files I get from my mplayer while listening to Radio 4: /Library/PreferencePanes/SlimServer.prefPane/Contents/server /usr/local/bin/mplayer /System/Library/Frameworks/OpenAL.framework/Versions/A/OpenAL /usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.3.16.dylib /usr/X11/lib/libfontconfig.1.1.0.dylib /usr/lib/libexpat.1.5.0.dylib /System/Library/Extensions/IOHIDFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOHIDLib.plugin/Contents/MacOS/IOHIDLib /Library/Caches/com.apple.LaunchServices-023501.csstore /usr/lib/dyld /private/var/db/dyld/dyld_shared_cache_i386 /dev/null /Users/steve/Library/Logs/slimserver.log /Users/steve/Library/Logs/slimserver.log In your error message, the problem seems to be caused by a missing X11 library. The name of the file is different to the one that I see. However, when I open a Finder window on the /usr/X11/lib directory, I see a file called /usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib, which is an alias, pointing to /usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.3.16.dylib. There is also an alias to the X11 folder, called X11R6, in the /usr folder. So on my system a reference to /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib will actually open the file /usr/X11/lib/libfreetype.6.3.16.dylib. Could you open a Finder window of the /usr directory to see what is in there? To do this, go to the Finder, then use shift-command-G to go to a particular folder and type /usr. If the 6.3.16 file is present you could attempt to create an alias to it called libfreetype.6.dylib. To create an alias, select the item you wish to create an alias to and type command-L. Creating any necessary aliases should at least fix the 'missing library' error.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC on OSX users - need help to prove/disprove problem
To see the version number and the other information about mplayer, you need to run the program from the Terminal. First, double click on the mplayer_intel_osx.zip file to expand it. This gives you a file, simply called mplayer, in the same directory as the .zip file. Assuming you're using Leopard, the .zip will be by default in the ~/Downloads/ directory (the ~ is shorthand for your home directory, or /Users/shortname_of_your_account/). Now, open the Terminal application and another window containing the mplayer file. Drag mplayer to the Terminal window - this brings up the exact location where the file is stored on your system. Without typing anything in the Terminal, find and drag the kitesample.ra file you downloaded previously to the same Terminal window (it is probably in the same directory as mplayer). Then click once in the Terminal window to activate it, and press return. The music will then play, and you'll see all the version and other information that mplayer produces when it runs from the Terminal.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC on OSX users - need help to prove/disprove problem
As far as I am aware, the only difference between the two versions of mplayer.sh is that the newer one will find mplayer if MPlayer OS X is installed in the Applications folder while the old one will not. So there's no reason to revert to the older mplayer.sh, so long as you either move (my suggestion) or rename (Triode's suggestion) MPlayer OS X. I agree with Triode's advice, but I am not entirely sure (and he does not say) what the permissions and ownership should be. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43214 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Easiest solution would be: 1. Delete /usr/local/bin/mplayer 2. Install Triode's mplayer into /usr/local/bin - setting permissions and ownership as necessary (it will need unzipping) 3. Move the MPlayer installed in /Applications to another name so the mplayer.sh included in Alien 2.0 does not find it - it should then find the mplayer in /usr/local/bin. Do this by renaming /Applications/MPlayer OSX.app to something else. 4.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC on OSX users - need help to prove/disprove problem
Whitmans, As I said before, you are a special case. You have mplayer installed in the /usr/local/bin for the original AlienBBC 1.6 installation and also MPlayer installed in the standard installation which is used in AlienBBC 2.0. This is not typical. I think you should do the following but a real Mac user should comment first. 1. Revert back to the original (1.6) mplayer.sh - make sure ownership and permissions are correct. 2. Delete /usr/local/bin/mplayer 3.

What do you actually have in Applications? mplayer (a Unix file) or MPlayer OS X (a Mac program with mplayer hidden deep inside it)? If the latter, the simplest way to make mplayer.sh ignore it would be to move it out of the top level of the Applications folder. It could go into your home folder, into a subfolder of Applications, or wherever you wanted. If you download the version Triode has supplied, it is best put into /usr/local/bin. Once again I remind you and others that, although this folder is normally invisible, it can be seen by using the Go to Folder item of the Go menu of the Finder. Just type /usr ito the dialog box and press Return and you get a window showing /usr from which you can go to any subfolder in the normal way. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43214 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC on OSX users - need help to prove/disprove problem
Bpa and danco, I'm just wondering what exactly danco means by "passed both tests". You did or did not hear Lennon on points 2/3? And then what for point 4? -- whitman whitman's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9053 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43214 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC on OSX users - need help to prove/disprove problem
Thanks Danco, Very strange - you have same version of mplayer and as user with problem. Processors are slightly different- so perhaps there is an difference in processor instructions sets. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43214 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Fine for me. Passed both tests. Just typing mplayer in Terminal reports MPlayer dev-SVN-r21482-4.0.1 (C) 2000-2006 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T7700 @ 2.40GHz (Family: 6, Model: 15, Stepping: 10) CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 SSE SSE2 OS 10.4.11 on the new 20-inch iMac. I have on a few occasion using AlienBBC noticed that only one channel seemed to be playing, but I put that down to a glitch in the transmission. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43214 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC on OSX users - need help to prove/disprove problem
Can a few more OSX AlienBBC users try this test ? >From the responses so far - the commonly installed mplayer is only using one channel - so what users are hearing is not mono but half of stereo. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43214 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

[SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC on OSX users - need help to prove/disprove problem
Need help from OSX/AlienBBC users to test if mplayer for OSX has a bug where it only plays one stereo channel out of both channels. The test involves running a test file (30sec clip of Beatles "Benefit of Mr. Kite") with mplayer in a Terminal window. The vocals in this clip are only on channel. THE TEST. 1. Download and save in a known directory the file kitesample.ra from here: http://homepage.eircom.net/~altondsl/slim/kitesample.ra If you have Realplayer installed - test that you can play the file OK. 2. Open Terminal window and run mplayer as follows. This command assume kitesample.ra is in the current directory. MPLAYER KITESAMPLE.RA 3. If you do not hear John Lennon singing - report failure with processor type, OSX version and mplayer version. 4. If you hear John Lennon singing try the following commands MPLAYER -AF CHANNELS=2:2:0:0:0:1 KITESAMPLE.RA MPLAYER -AF CHANNELS=2:2:1:1:1:0 KITESAMPLE.RA Report with which command did you hear the John Lennon vocal as well as processor OSX version and mplayer version Thanks. BACKGROUND In this thread http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43016 - Whitman noticed the problem and after running through the possibilities, mplayer on his system only plays one channel. Mplayer is standard build from mplayerhq. Whitman's system is an Intel OSX 10.4.11, user Braidy added that he has the same problem on a PPC OSX 10.4.11 system. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=43214 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
