AlienBBC on slimserver

Since my last reinstall I've been using the BBC iPlayer plugin instead of AlienBBC. Recently though I've wanted to listen to a couple of local BBC stations which do not appear in the iPlayer list, presumably because they are a real audio stream. So to listen to these I need to get AlienBBC up and running again.

So, following the instruction on the AlienBBC installation page;
  1. Server Settings -> Advanced Tab -> Extension Downloader
  2. Check AlienBBC and let it download
  3. cd /usr/local/slimserver/Cache/InstalledPlugins/Plugins/Alien/Bin
  4. vi mplayer.sh
  5. -> change first line to "#!/bin/ksh"
  6. -> put in full path to mplayer app "app=/opt/csw/bin/mplayer"
  7. ln -s `which mplayer`
  8. su - root -c "svcadm restart slimserver"

Sorted!
