Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] A Prairie Home Companion 3rd party app.
Is it true that the programme has been moved from RealPlayer to Flash format and thus this plugin is obsolete? Is it also true that there is no way to listen to PHC on Squeezeboxes on demand anymore? haschmich's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41882 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74989 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] A Prairie Home Companion 3rd party app.
After one year of intense meditation, I finally got to the bottom of my problem and got it working - mostly. The key lies in 'this ancient thread' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26727 ): - the problem being that mplayer does not support writing to stdout, and the DiskStation does not have /dev/fd/XX to work around this elegantly. I'm pretty sure there must be a way to access or create the fd devices or equivalent, but I have no clue as to how, so named pipes it is. The good news, there's no need to hunt for mkfifo as Synology provides mknod to do the job. As for the RTSP entries under WebUI Settings/Advanced/Filetypes, I've come to disable anything but FLAC, as it turns out this works best for me and with reasonable CPU and bandwidth requirements. MP3 with lame gives me crackling noises, hiccups and drop-outs, while ffmpeg hogs 100% CPU, and both never really crossed the finishing line. PCM works, but it seems shoving around the uncompressed data stream pushes the DS to its limits as well. And lastly, I found no way to make the SB Server actually select the WAV conversion option. FLAC works nice enough, although not exactly what I'd call robust: seeking in a stream works only occasionally, and sometimes the odd mplayer process is left running in the wild. Also there's no artwork displayed at all, not even the default transmitter mast symbol for generic radio. Anyway, I'm happy that finally, I can listen to 'The Prairie Home Companion' (http://prairiehome.publicradio.org/) on my Squeezeboxes! I'm attaching my edited realmplayer.sh and custom-convert.conf files from the PlayReal directory for reference. Mind you, they are dirty hacks and come with no warranty obviously. +---+ |Filename: playreal-ds207.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=12636| +---+ -- haschmich haschmich's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41882 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74989 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Thanks for your help bpa. I'm using Synology provided package. In my
squeezecenter installation directory, there's only a convert.conf and a
types.conf. What's custom-convert.conf, and what should be in it?
mplayer is an ARM binary, not sure how to test further as NAS has no
sound to begin with... startup message is:

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] A Prairie Home Companion 3rd party app.
I've got a similar if not the same problem with Squeezebox Server 7.5.1 on a Synology DS207+. mplayer and PlayReal are installed, and the player seems to start playing alright, it even fetches and displays the meta information of the stream. But all stays quiet, and after about 12s it just stops. The behaviour is consistent in PHC plugin and Tune-in. I have set my router firewall to forward incoming traffic on RTSP port 554 to the squeezebox server, outgoing is unrestricted anyway. Any ideas what I can try? Would be gorgeous to be able to access PHC archive via squeezebox! -- haschmich haschmich's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=41882 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74989 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] A Prairie Home Companion 3rd party app.
Thank you, adding Playreal and mplayer did the trick. For whatever reason, the link would play in the tune-in via HTML link, but not from the PHC app. until now. I did have to give permission via the firewall as it installed mplayer. All is well in Lake Wobegon again thanks to you ;-) -- davein davein's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35659 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74989 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] A Prairie Home Companion 3rd party app.
Just tested playing 30 Jan show - works OK for me. By timeout - do you means no menus or you get menu for programs but it times out after you try to play a program. Have you installed PlayReal plugin and also mplayer ? Can you try playing the URL below using the Tune-in on the WebUI. http://www.publicradio.org/tools/media/player/phc/2010/01/30_phc.smil The plugin uses the RealAudio stream which uses port 554 which is sometimes blocked by some routers. System details always help such as OS ?
