Installing the wrong version came about by my initially downloading
using old instructions before you had posted the new ones (this was
some time ago). Don't worry, the instructions are clear.

I suppose for the less technically minded it would be easier to find
everything you need in one place, ideally one folder!

First needs to test that mplayer works OK on your systems.   Open a
Terminal windows and try the following command on your systems and see
if you hear radio 4. 

Code:


  /usr/bin/mplayer -v -playlist

 Just tried to install Alien BBC using instructions on this website:
 http://www.x2systems.com/AlienBBC/installation.html#mac
 
 Installed everything on a titanium Powerbook running 10.4
 First problem, 'usr/local/bin' does not exist 'usr/bin' exists so I put
 mplayer in there instead.
 My squeezebox 3 displays alien BBC but will not play anything.
 
 Next, installed everything on my other mac (imac running OS 10.3)
 'usr/local' exists, but there are no files or folders in it.
 again I put mplayer in 'usr/bin'
 Once again squeezebox plays nothing as before.
 
 Can anybody tell me what I may have done wrong?
 
 Many thanks
 
 Guy

I've got 2 Macs running OS 10.4 (PowerBook and Mac Mini) and
/usr/local/bin exists on both of them and Alien BBC runs without a
problem on the Mac Mini.

In the Finder, from menu Go then Go to folder... what happens when
you enter /usr/local/bin and select Go ?

You have an old version of mplayer which required a separate codec file
but you didn't install the codec.

My advice is to install the later version of mplayer although I am not
sure if it will run on the 10.3 system. So you should get the 10.4
working first.

Use this version of mplayer and try again.
http://www.x2systems.com/AlienBBC/mplayer-03-15-06.tar.gz

In order to improve the AlienBBC instructions - where did you get the
version of mplayer you have installed  - off an AlienBBC page or
another link ?
