Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] no sound with prairie home companion
Sorry for the delay on getting back to you, but business called me away. The command line resulted in the following: Macmini:~ raglencross$ ls -l /Applications/MPlayer OSX.app/Contents/Resources/External_Binaries/mplayer.app/Contents/MacOS/ total 41976 -rwxr-xr-x 1 raglencross admin 21490476 Jan 12 2008 mplayer In anticipation of what next you might suggest to do, I tried the same command on the directory which contains (or which I think contains) squeezebox.exe. I just got an error message about an invalid directory. I suspect that the squeezebox file is not the correct one as it is only 115KB or so in size which seems too small to be the whole application. -- raglencross raglencross's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=7239 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79577 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins

You are right that the SBS and mplayer executables are installed with different ownerships. SBS's owner is unknown and mplayer is owned by me. Changing SBS to my ownership does not solve the problem, probably because, as you suggest, said ownership has to be extended to the containing folders and directories. Anyway, as a new Mac user, it looks like I will have to dig in to the whole matter of sharing, ownership and permissions as done by Apple.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] no sound with prairie home companion
The d in dwrx means directory not delete. Write access to a directory means you can delete files from a directory. ownership of SBS is not related to the userid which runs SBS. On Linux the userid is squeezeboxserver. According to OSX startup scripts the SBS userid is the environment variable $USER - I don't know its value on OSX. I wasn't very clear about the ls -l command - it was supposed to be done on the directory containing mplayer so try ls -l /Applications/MPlayer OSX.app/Contents/Resources/External_Binaries/mplayer.app/Contents/MacOS/ -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79577 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] no sound with prairie home companion
I don't know the OSX specifics but I believe the following to be applicable. First - a user which is an administrator will nearly always be able to run mplayer whereas SBS does not run as Administrator but with another userid and group which has very few privileges needs to have permissions and owner set correctly in order to run mplayer. Ideally when testing mplayer execution you should be testing logged in with the same userid (and by implication group) as the SBS userid. For a user to run mplayer - the user needs execute, sometimes read but not write access. The containing directories will needs execute access as well to list/search the directory. Write access except for owner is dangerous and a security risk as it enables non privileged users alter the executable. When looking at a file properties/details - permissions will have owner, group and others/everyone access. You only indicated one set of permissions. In a Terminal windows you can use the ls -l command to list file permissions, owner and group. -- bpa bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79577 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] no sound with prairie home companion
The mplayer executable and the directory and sub-directories which contain it show me to have read and write permission which is expected as my account is an administrative one. Other users for mplayer.exe namely admin and everyone, are read only. I changed these to read and write, but this had no effect. I don't know how to determine ownership.

Ok, I can stream via mplayer, it took a while, but it did come up. Curiously, i couldn't pause the stream, I could only quit out of it. Another thing that was odd was that my computer tried to use Quicktime to stream it first. I waited to see if it would work, but gave up on it and quit out of it before launching mplayer. Here's the log from when I tried to listen to PHC: [10-06-11 13:36:00.5165] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_eventAction (271) 00:04:20:22:12:a8: StatusHeartbeat in PAUSED-TRACKWAIT - Slim::Player::StreamingController::_NoOp [10-06-11 13:36:01.0117] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_eventAction (271) 00:04:20:22:12:a8: StatusHeartbeat in PAUSED-TRACKWAIT - Slim::Player::StreamingController::_NoOp It's the same thing for the whole screen. Any ideas?

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] no sound with prairie home companion
You should have played the stream from a Terminal window. OSX looked at rtsp:// and thought it was a Quicktime rtsp stream and not a Realaudio rtsp stream - it is ambiguous. Are you sure you pressed play with the rtsp URL or perhaps you didn't wait long enough to see something like Code: [10-06-11 18:56:29.0235] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_eventAction (271) 00:04:20:1e:01:e0: StatusHeartbeat in STOPPED-IDLE - Slim::Player::StreamingController::_NoOp [10-06-11 18:56:29.9170] Slim::Player::StreamingController::stop (1961) 00:04:20:22:00:d9 [10-06-11 18:56:29.9173] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_eventAction (271) 00:04:20:22:00:d9: Stop in STOPPED-IDLE - Slim::Player::StreamingController::_NoOp [10-06-11 18:56:29.9176] Slim::Player::StreamingController::resetSongqueue (1644) Song queue is now [10-06-11 18:56:29.9187] Slim::Player::StreamingController::play (1964) 00:04:20:22:00:d9 [10-06-11 18:56:29.9190] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_eventAction (271) 00:04:20:22:00:d9: Play in STOPPED-IDLE - Slim::Player::StreamingController::_StopGetNext [10-06-11 18:56:29.9193] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_eventAction (284) params: index = 0 seekdata = undef [10-06-11 18:56:29.9197] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_setPlayingState (2232) new playing state STOPPED [10-06-11 18:56:29.9200] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_setStreamingState (2245) new streaming state IDLE [10-06-11 18:56:29.9205] Slim::Player::Song::new (107) index 0 - rtsp://archivemedia.publicradio.org/5559/phc/2010/06/05_phc.rm [10-06-11 18:56:29.9208] Slim::Player::Song::new (149) live=3 [10-06-11 18:56:29.9211] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_setStreamingState (2245) new streaming state TRACKWAIT [10-06-11 18:56:29.9213] Slim::Player::Song::getNextSong (228) rtsp://archivemedia.publicradio.org/5559/phc/2010/06/05_phc.rm [10-06-11 18:56:29.9216] Slim::Player::Song::getNextSong (250) scanning URL rtsp://archivemedia.publicradio.org/5559/phc/2010/06/05_phc.rm [10-06-11 18:56:29.9226] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_playersMessage (774) Getting stream info...: rtsp://archivemedia.publicradio.org/5559/phc/2010/06/05_phc.rm [10-06-11 18:56:29.9236] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_eventAction (303) 00:04:20:22:00:d9: Play - new state STOPPED-TRACKWAIT [10-06-11 18:56:30.5332] Slim::Player::Song::getNextSong (228) rtsp://archivemedia.publicradio.org/5559/phc/2010/06/05_phc.rm [10-06-11 18:56:30.5336] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_nextTrackReady (730) 00:04:20:22:00:d9: nextTrack will be index 0 [10-06-11 18:56:30.5339] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_eventAction (271) 00:04:20:22:00:d9: NextTrackReady in STOPPED-TRACKWAIT - Slim::Player::StreamingController::_Stream [10-06-11 18:56:30.5342] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_Stream (1162) Song queue is now 0 [10-06-11 18:56:30.5345] Slim::Player::StreamingController::_Stream (1165) 00:04:20:22:00:d9: preparing to stream song index 0 [10-06-11 18:56:30.5348] Slim::Player::Song::open (362) rtsp://archivemedia.publicradio.org/5559/phc/2010/06/05_phc.rm [10-06-11 18:56:30.5355] Slim::Player::Song::open (386) seek=false time=0 canSeek=1 [10-06-11 18:56:30.5362] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::checkBin (232) Checking formats for: rtsp-alc-fab4-00:04:20:22:00:d9 [10-06-11 18:56:30.5367] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::checkBin (232) Checking formats for: rtsp-alc-*-00:04:20:22:00:d9 [10-06-11 18:56:30.5370] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::checkBin (232) Checking formats for: rtsp-alc-fab4-* [10-06-11 18:56:30.5375] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::checkBin (232) Checking formats for: rtsp-alc-*-* [10-06-11 18:56:30.5379] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::checkBin (232) Checking formats for: rtsp-wma-fab4-00:04:20:22:00:d9 [10-06-11 18:56:30.5382] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::checkBin (232) Checking formats for: rtsp-wma-*-00:04:20:22:00:d9 [10-06-11 18:56:30.5386] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::checkBin (232) Checking formats for: rtsp-wma-fab4-* [10-06-11 18:56:30.5388] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::checkBin (232) Checking formats for: rtsp-wma-*-* [10-06-11 18:56:30.5392] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::checkBin (232) Checking formats for: rtsp-aac-fab4-00:04:20:22:00:d9 [10-06-11 18:56:30.5396] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::checkBin (232) Checking formats for: rtsp-aac-*-00:04:20:22:00:d9 [10-06-11 18:56:30.5399] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::checkBin (232) Checking formats for: rtsp-aac-fab4-* [10-06-11 18:56:30.5402] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::checkBin (232) Checking formats for: rtsp-aac-*-* [10-06-11 18:56:30.5405] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::checkBin (232) Checking formats for: rtsp-ogg-fab4-00:04:20:22:00:d9 [10-06-11 18:56:30.5408] Slim::Player::TranscodingHelper::checkBin (232) Checking formats for: rtsp-ogg-*-00:04:20:22:00:d9 [10-06-11 18:56:30.5411]

Have you checked whether play Real plugin is installed correctly ? Are the rtsp file types enabled under WebUiI Settings/Advanced/Filetypes ? RTSP files are enabled. How would I know if the play realaudio plug in was installed properly? It says that mplayer is installed and that fast start is enabled. There are two things on the ignore list r3g2ident.rm r2online_id.rm And when you say a terminal window, are you referring to the OS X terminal? Maybe the command line interface in SBS? I opened mplayer and gave it the link, and it streamed fine, is there anoter way I should be testing? I have given it 10 minutes and it gives me the same info in the log as I posted earlier. Grrr... I bet it's something simple, I just don't know enough about this stuff to notice it... -- isaacc7 isaacc7's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38226 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79577 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] no sound with prairie home companion
Oh, and just FYI, I did find something called tune in URL in the SBS web interface. Same result. It says it is connected, and even counts down the time, but no sound Isaac -- isaacc7 isaacc7's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=38226 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79577 ___ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
