TAL_parser.pl v1.4 is at http://benklaas.com/slimserver. I put in a couple of lines to avoid duplicate streams in the playlists (i.e., dates where reruns were aired) FWIW, I did finally get mplayer to pipe real audio to slimserver. The key was to make sure that mplayer was built to use the win32c

never did get mplayer/real to work...to be honest, I'm not surprised. There is nothing I've flailed with more through my time with slimserver than trying to listen to Alien streams... opened up a separate thread on it... http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=17732 Looks like things are

sounds like there is some active work going on with the playlist logic. If you open a bug, make sure to reference bug 735 as related, as it appears it is... no love on mplayer, but probably serves me right...I just jumped the Fedora bandwagon and have started using Gentoo. I'm fairly pleased with

Hi Tom-- I'll take a look at it in the next few days...funny you should mention this script...I was just cutting all of my data over to a new server and was wondering to myself if anyone ever used those slimserver scripts... Also, excited to hear that slimserver can play the URLs directly now. Th
