Understood. I really must get from 6.5 to 7 ... though I'm largely of
the 'if it ain't broke' mentality. Still, the iPlayer plugin and a few
other goodies are making it increasingly tempting to take the plunge.
But while we're on the subject, there's no good (wiki or otherwise)

there's no good (wiki or otherwise) instructions about upgrading 6.5 to
7.x for Mac that I can find.
You're right but since it is 10 months since 7.0 - there is unlikely
one to be written.
Not upgrading unless you really have to or you have a clean start (e.g.
new PC) is a very sensible
Attached are replacement AlienBBC conf files.
Download the attachements - rename them so that they lose the .txt (

Save the original AlienBBC conf files in case you need to revert.
Copy the 2 conf file from this post into the Alien folder -
Bpa: they worked a treat. Thanks so much for this and all previous help.
Much appreciated.

I need to updaste/correct the wiki entry. When the wiki was
re-organised, it scrambled the lines to be added to conf files and the
wiki entry is now incorrect.

I think that would be a good idea. I must say if my experience is
typical, readers might find it hard to follow as it stands.

Limitation of 6.5 made it difficult to simplify. For 7.x - there is a
minimal plugin which simplifies installation (except for mplayer) to
a single unzip and restart

Thanks bpa. I can't open convert.conf or types.conf. I'm getting a
'there is no default app specified to open the document' message. Any
idea how I get into them?

They are plain text files, so any text editor can open them.
I think TextEdit would be fine, but I can't recall if one has to do
anything special to preserve Unix line endings. You may have to tell it
to make the text plain text format, not rtf.

Whitman,
I'll post appropriate ready made conf files to test but need to know if
you have AlienBBC working or not ?

Anyone managed to get AAC Plus streams playing through Slimserver on a
Mac?
I looked at the wiki entry...
http://wiki.slimdevices.com/index.php/AACplus
I'm using Mac OSX 10.5.5, Slimserver 6.5.1, Squeezebox 3. The wiki says
I must have mplayer of at least 1.0pre8. It says at Step 1, for
If you have AlienBBC running then you do not need to install another
copy of mplayer.
For SC 7.x you should be following the post linked from the WIki

But I have no AAC Plus entries listed in Slimserver's file formats in
prefs. My understanding from the wiki is that I need a later version of
mplayer to have that facility. I want to listen to JazzFM using 'Tune In
URL'.

You should be checking Settings/Advanced/Filetypes and not the prefs
file.
It looks like the installation of the plugin attached to the post has
not been successful.
Double check the installation and don't forget to restart SC.
The issue about mplayer is only important when you have AACplus
Sorry bpa, I think I confused you.
I meant Settings etc, not prefs: that's where I looked. No AAC Plus
filenames there.
Here's the thing: I'm assuming that in order to play an AAC Plus
stream, such as JazzFM's, through the 'Tune In URL' facility, I need a
newer version of mplayer that will
mplayer will not add any filetype to SC - it is all within conf files.
As I mentioned in post #2 of this thread, the necessary AACplus plugin
for SC7 is attached to the following post
