These are easy enough to install on a Linux system, but present more of a problem when Slimserver is running under Windows. The first step is going to be installing something like ActiveState's perl distribution for Windows and runing Slimserver directly from the slimserver.pl script. Next you will have to look at the errors given during startup stating which modules were not found. Then you will have to install them. I know this was attempted last year with limited success.

Yet again, this device (and all the software for it) blows me away. Thanks for the pointer, that was very helpful! Glad to hear that you got it working. There are a few options that you can set in the plugin code itself. You need to set your time zone and whether it looks for progams currently playing or also include shows that are going to start shortly. Just edit out the # for your time zone and edit out the # in the now / nowsoon section to make your choice. As it stands, the PublicRadioFan plugin only searches the site for stations that are streaming in a MP3 format. When the plugin was written that was all SlimServer was able to play in a streamed format. I am currently working on updating it to also parse out RealAudio and WindowsMedia streams since they can now be played as well. I have a rough hack in place where it can parse out and play either MP3, WM or RA stream. The only problem is that the plugin, as written, can only look for one format type at a time. I don't have enough perl skills yet to alter the code to look for multiple format type simultaneously. If anyone would like to give me a hand with it, I'll take all the help Ican get. I wrote to the original author of the plugin, but haven't heard back. --Tom Malsbury -- malsbury ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Mike Anderson Wrote:

To play WindowsMedia Stream I make the following changes:
where it says:
my $musicurl = $directory_url?when=$when\type=music\sty=mp3;
my $nonmusicurl =
$directory_url?when=$when\type=non-music\sty=mp3;
Change To:
my $musicurl = $directory_url?when=$when\type=music\sty=wm;
my $nonmusicurl =
$directory_url?when=$when\type=non-music\sty=wm;
Where it says:
if ($showwalker-look_down('alt','[MP3]'))
Change To:
if ($showwalker-look_down('alt','[WM]'))
To play RealAudio, the change is to sty=ra and [RA]
You will need to restart SlimServer after the changes. I generally
keep mine set to WindowsMedia since all of my local NPRs stream that
way.
This change will play about 90% of the streams it parses out since some
stream urls are wrapped in a playlist. If you pick one of these
streams it won't crash, it simply wont start the stream. I then just
move on an pick another station that is streaming the show in
question.
