AlienBBC Tune In

[hdarwen]

Am trying to connect to a real stream on undergroundhouse.net using slim. AlienBBC is up and running OK for the standard BBC streams, but when I try to connect to a stream on undergroundhouse I get a can't retrieve playlist message.

Just taking one of the streams as an example, I have tried copying the shortcut link, which is:

http://www.undergroundhouse.net/mixes/listen.php?ID=988

I have also saved the ram file it connects to and copied the url out of there:

http://undergroundhouse.net/realmedia/justinlong_live_fabric.rm

Have tried pasting both of these into Tune In url in slim with no luck.

Is it something I just can't do, or have I got something wrong?

Any advice appreciated.

You didn't say which version of SS your are running. There is a bug in 6.5.0 when handling ram file playlist. You would need to upgrade to 6.5.1 and also install an AlienBBC patch. However that still won't make the stream play.

I'm not sure why but the URL causes slimserver to go into a loop reading data but it is not passed onto AlienBBC setup.

I think it might be related to the use of the http protocol instead of rtsp which is used by RealAudio streams.

Thx for the reply. Fair enough. Am on 6.5.0, but makes no difference by the sounds of it.
