You are quite right, the SSOTS install already has mplayer(-stdout) there and all I needed to do was follow the brief instructions on http://oinkzwurgl.org/ssods_faq#toc17. Thanks -- Dongle Dongle's Profile: http://forums.

Thanks bpa. I have started from 'scratch' with a formatted QNAP build (hence I think no preinstalls of anything squeezecenter like - this was due to an install of 7.0 'over the top of' 6.5.4 which somehow led to the filesystem and mount becoming corrupted). I have then installed FlipFlip's (excell

This is a very old thread. MPlayer has been improved a lot and the bug in the original post is gone. A standard build or install of mplayer will work with AlienBBC. However some bundles of MPlayer launch a GUI which is NOT the version you need for AlienBBC. I am not familiar with Centos but th

Hiya, This might not be the right please, but the AlienBBC website suggested posting updated instructions to this forum. The instructions for installing AlienBBC include a large point 4 'Ensure that mplayer is installed...'. Not knowing anything about MPlayer this was daunting. However, I made a
