Hi thanks for the information. However, I don't understand step 4 and am stuck there:
* 4: After installation is complete, the console downstream players, current players, the mplayer test:. / Mplayer-playlist playlist.txt;
I am not sure if I was doing correctly but I did the following at the command prompt:
apt-get install mplayer
and then type at the prompt #mplayer -playlist playlist.txt
but got some error messages:
mplayer: could not connect to socket
mplayer: no such file and directory
failed to open LIRC support: you will not be able to use your remote control
playing tvod.....................
exiting....(end of file)
Something must be amiss. I did not get any ppstream player up. I appreciate your help.
