I'm pretty unfamiliar with Linux, but pretty programming / electronics hacking aware.
I'm trying (like many before) to get WMA streaming working on the original MightyOhm radio router. Thing is, I don't really know how to go about it. So far I have followed the instructions on the site, got nice audio playing for FIP radio (excellent French station, try it if you haven't already!). However, like most people in Britain, I'd love to get some BBC radio stations playing. The BBC, in their infinite wisdom, offer only WMA or 3GPP streams - neither supported by my version of MPD.
I tried "tricking" the router (as I didn't have time for a full re-flash) by pointing OPKG at the 10.03 stable packages (having read that MPD 0.15 was built into this and could *theoretically* support WMA). Running
Code: Select all
opkg install mpd
Code: Select all
Package mpd (0.13.2-1) installed in root is up to date.
Then, just for funsies, I thought I'd ask opkg for ffmpeg. Both the MightyOhm and 10.03 repositories (right usage?) gave me:
Code: Select all
Collected errors:
* Packages were found, but none compatible with the architectures configured
So, after all that waffle, any suggestions as to next move? Try to install 10.03.1-rc4 from http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/1 ... uashfs.trx? Try to get a higher version of MPD onto my Kamikaze install from MightyOhm (how)? Use another media player? Give up and take up knitting?!
Any help would be SOOOOO appreciated. Oh, and if it's a known fact that the WL-520GU definately hasn't the power to decode 128kbps WMA, I'd be appreciative of knowing that too and whether there's a beefier platform I could try again on.
Thanks in advance to any helpers, and happy Sunday from England.
