AlienBBC gives blank menu option

[Raul da Silva]

Jules-

Excuse my ignorance, but does this mean that there is a Windows version of
AlienBBC? I've been using the Rube Goldberg Tara/Winamp/Shoutcast mess to
stream BBC Real content from the BBC. It works, but it's a royal PITA.

I'm on the verge of setting up a Redhat machine just for BBC streams. If
there is an AlienBBC version (alpha, beta... I don't care). I'd LOVE to be
a tester.

Best

Jules, I am running Triode 'transcoderless' version of AlienBCC on
Windows and I can say it is looking very good. If you have any
alpha/beta releases of AlienBBC you would like tested I would be very
interested.

Me too, and I've got a SliMP3 to try it on. And now that the holidays are
over, some time too!

Off topic: I sure put my SliMP3 to good use over the holidays playing
Live365 Xmas music streams!

Hey Raul - Watch this space ;)

I think we're getting close to a release that stands a reasonable chance
of working for you ;)

Will this be for 5.4.x or 6.0.x, or both ???

Hi Bruce.

Should be either - although I don't believe the v6 version has recieved
much in the way of testing.

I checked in fixes last night that sorted out some cosmetic issues for
it on v6 (they affect AlienBBC v0.12, too as it happens), and it's
working for me on v6, at least on Linux.
