Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC + iPlayer no longer work after 7.3.4 > 7.4.2 upgrade

2009-10-28 Thread bpa

I think the problem is exacerbated by the fact the Duration value for a
stream is not known until the stream starts playing but MIS tries to
display the duration when the "play" button is pressed when "duration"
has not yet been defined.

2009-10-28 Thread bpa

I had a feeling MIS customisation mightg have been the issue but since I
don't use it, I wasn't familiar with it enough to test it.

This is a bug but it needs more investigation to determine whether the
bug is in MIS, SBS or BBCiPlayer.

Re: [SlimDevices: Plugins] AlienBBC + iPlayer no longer work after 7.3.4 > 7.4.2 upgrade

2009-10-28 Thread mattross

Hi,

You will be pleased to know I have found the cause of my iPlayer
playback woes, and it is related to the 'Can't call method "duration" on
unblessed reference' error as you said.

Through a laborious process of elimination I removed each part of the
preferences, stopped the server, restarted and tried iPlayer. Eventually
I have tracked the cuplrit to be the 'duration' field on the player's
settings / Basic Settings page. I have a customised 'TITLE FORMAT' of
'DISC-TRACKNUM. TITLE (DURATION)'. When the DURATION field is present
iPlayer does not work, switch to another value without it and it works
without restarting. I use the same field on both my Transporter and
Squeezebox3, and I can break iPlayer on SoftSqueeze the same way by
choosing that title format.

So as this previously worked under v7.3.4 is it safe to assume this is
a bug?

It is clear that Softsqueeze plays OK but also it does not show the
error message so I think the error message is related to the problem.

It also seems likely that Softsqueeze settings may be different to h/w
players so Softsqueeze is not affected.

What 3rd Plugins have you installed ?

I'm back, and I bear the gift of logs. I have attached two logs in the
same file with the logging options you specified. One is from my
Transporter attempting to play a stream I haven't tried before. The
second, in case it's useful, is another iPlayer stream I hadn't played
before successfully playing on my SoftSqueeze on the desktop PC.

Thanks for your continued assistance...

Can you create another log with the following settings
plugin.bbciplayer.parser INFO
plugin.bbciplayuer.rtmp INFO
player.source DEBUG

Make sure you try a station and program you have not tried before
otherwise cached entries may be used.

Dennis55,

You've jumped threads.

I think your QNAP installation does not have the proper faad for AAC
streaming but since you are in the UK you should be able to play the
Listen Again MP3 stream so disable AAC in BBCiPlayer Settings and then
try again.

BPA, after rootin' around on how to install MPlayer i now have a working
AlienBBC!.
the alternate listen again function is working and i am able to not
"miss the unmissable".
it's a pity it has come too late as the Beeb has finished the latest
capers from The Penny Dreadfulsone of my favourite period
sitcoms with a touch of the surreal mixed in.
i can listen "live" on the BBCiPlayer, but listen again is not
outputting any audio.

I changed both players to use the analog meter, then disabled the Music

iPlayer stream but it has made no difference. I also tried with the
spectrum analyser screensaver and the date and time one and there is no
audio in any combination.

You've trimmed too much and stopped just when it started to play so
there is no indication of why it stopped..

With logs sometimes messages that are missing can help so do not edit
logs and copy as much as possible.  Generally just copy the log message
from time your press "play" to about 30 secs after all the activity has
happened.

Copy the messages into a text file, zip the text file and attach to a
post.

What works depends on what you have configured and what stream formats
are being picked up.  Get a log with player.source set to debug and copy
relevant log entries to a post.

First make sure faad and flac are working.  Test the SBS versions on a
command line.

2009-10-26 Thread mattross

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes I am using a 64-bit kernel, but I have
the 'libc6-i386' package installed and ldd is finding all the required
libraries:


Code:

# ldd /usr/share/squeezeboxserver/Bin/i386-linux/faad
  linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xf7fc1000)
  libm.so.6 => /lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf7f8b000)
  libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf7e36000)
  /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7fc2000)



I think the fact SoftSqueeze can play streams implies something else is
not right.

AlienBBC is broken because BBC have changed their website not because of
7.4.x

Are you using a 64 bit kernel ?  If so then install the 32 bit
compatibility libraries as supplied faad and flac are 32 bit binaries.
