Apart from bpa's suggestion, it can't do any harm to increase the radio station timeout - to 30 seconds or even more - even though it may not help. -- danco danco's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=210 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31762 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: mac os problem
I think the problem has been identified but I'm not sure because your response is unclear. You should only need to stop and restart slimserver *ONCE* after system startup or after waking up from sleep/standby (I presume Mac have a sleep/standby mode). If you have the DNS problem, then you should be able to use AlienBBC fully without any other changes or stopping/restarting slimserver. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31762 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: mac os problem
brilliant! thanks, although it seems to be a bit hit and miss (ie sometimes finding the stream in time, sometimes not) it is working with perseverance. should I build in a time delay for the url to be recognised though (as you suggested?) - if so - would you mind talking me through how to do that? -- pgalore2k pgalore2k's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9408 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31762 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

You need to go into system preferences. Locate the Slimserver icon; click on it. Click on the toggle button to turn off slimserver. Wait a few seconds, and then toggle it again to restart. -- Nikhil Nikhil's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=993 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31762 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: mac os problem
Sorry, no, that's not restarting slimserver it's just closing and opening a window to slimserver. I don't have a Mac so I can't provide you with specific instructions you need.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: mac os problem
The radio station timeout is the time to wait for a station to respond to a request. If this is what you meant by adding a delay then it not applicable to this problem. I meant adding in a delay between system start and slimserver start. Your log shows that the request cannot be made because slimserver cannot work out the IP address from the URL - this means Slimserver thinks your DNS is not set up. Now please answer this question - it is critical to answer just Yes, No or Don't know how to do it. *Without restarting or rebooting your Mac - have you stopped and re-started (not re-install) slimserver and then checked if the problem has gone away ?* -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31762 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

hi do you mean 'radio station timeout'? that's set at 12 secs. If you don't mean that can you give a guide to where i need t change something? also... tried un/re installing realplayer and un/re installing alienbbc itself - still nothing changes. did the paste of the debug file above shed any light? -- pgalore2k pgalore2k's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9408 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31762 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

Delays may not be the whole answer but first yiou need to confirm if this is indeed the problem.

[SlimDevices: Plugins] Re: mac os problem
OK - the other part of the problem setup was that slimserver is installed to start up when OSX starts up. If your slimserver is also set to start when PSX starts - the following is what happens 1. OSX starts up and starts up networking 2. Slimserver starts and lookups up the DNS servers. Wireless sometimes takes a while to get set up so DNS has not been set up when Slimserver looks for DNS. 3. Wireless LAN setup completes and DNS works. 4. Slimserver runs but thinks DNS is not configured. Test to check if this is your problem: Stop and restart slimserver and retest AlienBBC Solution if above "fixes the problem": Put in a delay before startup of slimserver. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31762 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins

This problem seems to be with slimserver and not the mplayer.

For diagnosis, you might want to see if you can play the streams on your computer by going to the BBC page on your browser.
