Thanks! This looks like a fix (with sleep 6 - Geode LX 800 proc.)

I think it may be Gentoo specific as ED works OK for Linux for other
users.

I used the Squeezecenter Extension Downloader for the installation; I
did not install AlienBBC myself from the zip file.

Perhaps changes should be made to the Extension Downloader procedure to
ensure proper permissions on mplayer.sh when AlienBBC is installed.

mplayer.sh does have execute enabled in the zip file that is downloaded
into your system - somehow it has got turned off in the installation
process.

I turned on the above logging options and looked at the resulting log.
The key log entry:
[09-05-18 04:46:03.4219] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::checkBin
(260)couldn't find binary for: mplayer.sh

I checked
/var/lib/squeezecenter/cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/Alien/Bin/mplayer.sh
and found that the permissions were as follows:

# ls -l mplayer.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 squeezecenter squeezecenter 1295 2009-05-06 20:08
mplayer.sh

I added execute permissions:
# chmod +x mplayer.sh

I retried the test, and everything worked as it should.

Perhaps execute permissions should be added to mplayer.sh to prevent
this problem.

Is this a new AlienBBC install or an upgrade from a working one that is
now broken ?

Can you get a log (See WebUI Settings/Advanced/Logging) with
player.source set to DEBUG and plugin.alienbbc set to DEBUG

1. Note time
2. Try a station
3. Copy into a plain text file *all* log entries from noted time until
end of test. Zip file and attach to a post.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: AlienBBC 2.5

2009-05-18 Thread epoch1970

Hi. For me AlienBBC 2.5 works great on SC7.3.2/debian linux. 
I have noticed that, probably due to connection failures or timeouts,
my machine can pile up inactive mplayer/flac processes over time. They
take no CPU, but a little memory and I am looking to make the headless
server as reliable as possible.
I guess I didn't wait for the TCP idle timeout, which is stock -at over
2hrs I guess. Will the processes go away after the timeout ? 
Is there a recommended setting/admin measure to keep the number of
mplayer/flac processes from bulging ?

I repeat, the plugin works great. I love it and I am grateful for it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: AlienBBC 2.5

2009-05-17 Thread Ron Olsen

I'm running SqueezeCenter 7.3.2 on Gentoo Linux, and just installed the
AlienBBC v2.5-7.3 plugin via the Extension Downloader.

When I try to play a stream (for example, Guy Garvey's Finest Hour in
BBC 6 Music), I get the following error in
/var/lib/squeezecenter/server.log:

09-05-17 20:14:02.0497] Slim::Player::Song::open (341) Error: Couldn't
create command line for rtsp playback for
[rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk:554/6musiccoyopa/6music_-_sunday_2200.ra?timestamp=1242602547&pid=b00kgg3p&BBC-UID=84883c5d89ce5d713df19c58f06007cf1114dc12e0c03124045f69771236f60b&SSO2-UID=]

I see the artwork for the show on my SqueezeCenter web interface, but
nothing plays due to the above error.

I get a similar error with every other stream that I try.

However, the following command works and plays the stream on my
computer:

mplayer
rtsp://rmv8.bbc.net.uk:554/6musiccoyopa/6music_-_sunday_2200.ra


Any idea what's going wrong and how to fix it?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: AlienBBC 2.5

2009-05-17 Thread bpa

Displaying the BBC program "images" and the station logos for live
(national & regional) stations was one of the small enhancements made
for 2.5.  These are best seen on Squeezeplay and SBC.  

The BBC images use a "wide screen" format which is displayed correctly
on Squeezeplay and SBC but unfortunately on WebUI - they are resized
into a square and so are distorted slightly.

By the way, maybe it's not new, but I've just noticed that I'm getting
thumbnail images with (some?) streams.  Composer of the week listen
again has a nice composer related thumbnail.

New or not - thanks for a wonderful add-on.

And one small wish for the future.

I "pause by hand" - I remember my position - stop the (listen again)
stream, and then when I start it again skip to about my old position -
maybe a tiny bit before.  Any hope of that being done automagically in
the future?

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Announce: AlienBBC 2.5

2009-05-16 Thread Triode

AlienBBC Release 2.5 for 7.3.x and 7.4 is now available through
Extension Downloader.  This release has been in beta for a while and is
primarily intended to fix bugs and ensure compatibility with
SqueezeCenter and the BBC site.  More details have been discussed on the
beta thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=60368

To upgrade from a previous version installed with Extension Downloader,
go to the Extension Downloader page and select the new version.

Otherwise manually remove any previous version and then go to
Setttings, Advanced, Extension Downloader on the web interface to
install the new version.

The AlienBBC Team.
