Thanks bpa. I'll revert to 7.2.1 and keep you informed when I'll have
the time to do some more testing.
BTW I definitely should be reporting a nasty bug in SC 7.3 that makes
the last couple of seconds of audio stutter on Apple Lossless files
transcoded to WAV or FLAC. I could not figure out if
When I change the conf file RA settings from $FILE$ to $URL$ as a
workaround to 9638, it behave similar to your Apple Lossless bug but
until the 9638 is sorted, this stutter won't be obvious to most other
users.
Log the bug - that way it has to be verified.

The conf files work OK and play the file in 7.2.1 but do not work in
7.3. It looks like a 7.3 bug if developers accept what the conf file
are trying to do.

According to post 1 you are running 7.2.1 but the log looks like 7.3 ?
What version of SC are you running ?
What version of AlienBBC have you installed ?

Oops, I ran into authentication problems in the meantime with 7.2.1, so
I upgraded both SC and AlienBBC. Behavior with RA files hasn't changed
a bit and AlienBBC works fine with the BBC radio shows. I should have
mentioned it, I'm sorry.
If I may, does the error log tell us anything worthwhile?

It does - it says that conf files are set up asa I requested.
The input to mplayer (i.e. $FILE$) becomes - which may be causing a
problem but it works on my Linux system so I need to double check my
conf files but can't do this at
I followed these instructions to play the RA type. The time indicator
starts up as if something was playing but I dont get any audio out of
the SB3. I checked my processes and mplayer doesnt even seem to
launch.

Did you restart SC ?
Check Settings/Advanced/Filetypes - there should be a entry with no
name but just like RTSP - this is the ra entry (you need to modify
strings.txt to get a name)

Yes I did restart SC. And there is an empty file type in the Settings
that uses mplayer.sh for decoding.
Here is my latest server log, if that can be of any help:

The ra type works for me as I posted when playing a file in my music
folder.
The error can be ignored as it results in the no name in filetype
entries.
Do you have 3 no-name entries with mplayer.sh and are they enabled
just like RTSP entries.

Make no changes at the moment and use a file extension of rm (e.g.
Substitute2.rm ). SC should pickup the file as RealAudio and try to

A podcast... why didnt I think of this before? I successfully downloaded
the rm media file with clut and the header indicates
xaudio/x-pn-realaudio. I haven't tried playing it yet with the SB3

No the problem is the URL is using port 80 and not port 554 which is
normally used for RTSP RealAudio because it support HTTP transport on

Before connecting a RealAudio service AlienBBC check for the duration
of the audio stream but it looks like the check is
No - mplayer does not support RealAudio transported by HTTP protocol
only by the RTSP protocol.
Adding http to the types would divert ALL HTTP stream to AlienBBC.
If mplayer supported HTTP, it would be necessary to adding a new mime

The URL is not using RealNetworks HTTP tunnelling for RealAudio streams

I think it may be possible to handle it but it would need new type and

Hello,
I have been trying to get this to play on my SB3 with SC 7.2.1 and
AlienBBC on Mac OS X 10.5.5 :
http://www.aligrefm.org/player/Substitute.rpm
It's a Real Audio playlist that links to :
http://aligrefm2.free.fr/Substitute/Substitute2.rm
I have properly installed AlienBBC to do so and
AlienBBC uses mplayer. Mplayer does not support RealAudio over HTTP
only over RTSP so try the following URL
rtsp://aligrefm2.free.fr/Substitute/Substitute2.rm
