[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Crash using mplayer - can't use alienbbc
Brilliant!!! I took your advice and downloaded an updated driver for wireless networking from the Sony website, installed it, and now it's working perfectly. The only downside is that I may be forced to listen to the Archers...

no i/o = no input or output. The mplayer banner says it is version 1.0pre8 ? Can you play an ordinary MP3 audio file with mplayer ? Are you using Norton 2006 ? If playing a file works then I think the problem lies with accessing the network interface. The probable reason for a crash would be a faulty driver - mplayer is asking the driver for some feature/setup and it causes the driver to crash the system. If the network driver is the cause then all I can suggest is to check on the sony site for an update. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26742 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server\Bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\mplayer.exe --help This does bring up the list of options; forgive my ignorance, but I don't know if it started the mplayer (although I have got it to play an mpeg on my computer); what do you mean by "no i/o"? My setup is very standard - a sony vaio running windows xp usign an intel processor.

Try the following C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server\Bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\mplayer.exe --help This should just start mplayer and print list of options - no i/o. What processor is in your system ? If it is a non Intel/AMD then a special build may be necessary. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26742 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

I do get the first menu up i.e. a list of available bbc stations. Whichever one I select leads to a crash. The same also happens if independ from slimserver (and with it turned off), I run: "C:\Program Files\SlimServer\server\Bin\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\mplayer.exe" -vc null -vo null -cache 128 -af volume=0:sc,resample=44100:0:1 -playlist http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/realplayer/media/fmg2.rpm -- jschott jschott's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7162 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26742 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

The mplayer (NOT slimserver) test first displays a menu of station before mplayer is even started - do you get this menu ? Because the filename has a space in it you have to use quotes " around the name (i.e. before first t of test and after t of .bat) -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26742 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: Crash using mplayer - can't use alienbbc
When I try the slimserver test via the dos prompt, a few lines of text appear, and then before I get a chance to read the error report produced, the pc restarts. This occurs independently of whether slimserver is running or not; or whether norton internet security is off.

First make sure slimserver is stopped.

I've redownloaded mplayer and got it to play mpegs from my computer without problems. It still crashes when I try to test the alien bbc connection, even with firewall/anti-virus software off. I've looked in the Windows event log, but all I can find is: "Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at C:/Program Files/SlimServer/server/Plugins/Alien/RTSP.pm line 84" Any thoughts? -- jschott jschott's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7162 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26742 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

mplayer is an ordinary app does not have any special drivers - it just takes input from network processes it and outputs to a port. This sort of app should not crash XP. If the mplayer file is not corrupted in some way then it is an interaction with your system config. - what Firewall/Anti-virus software have you installed ? Since mplayer standalone test fails - I first suggest download a new copy of install EXE file and reinstall. I would advise against using other versions of mplayer as they are abuilt slightly differently and we know the version in the AlienBBC install works fine for many users. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26742 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
