Jules,

Absolutely brilliant! Probably the best thing since sliced bread Suddenly
all the bbc's rich listen again archive is available at a press of a button
(or three).

It pretty much works as you describe. It is hindered by alienstreams' lack
of error recovery & some work to tidy up browsing & perhaps a pause feature.
( I think the stream rtsp holds the start position of the stream at the end
of the line)

This will certainly be the feature on slimserver that will have the heaviest
use for me. Congratulations Sir, excellent work.

regards Waldy

Erm. I'd be _VERY_ surprised.

For AlienStream to work... it uses the Xine libraries, and the lame encoder,
and then consists of a small C program and a plugin.

To make that lot coordinate, it uses named pipes. As I understand it... it
_COULD_ cross-platform... but you'd definately have to tweak the named-pipe
stuff, and that'd mean changes to both the binary and the plugin. I'm not
aware of anybody trying to do this, but I'd be delighted if they did.
