The New HSL files on windows PC

Although everyone is very helpful with advice on how to do this and that, I find that really KISS is always best.

To save time for other users here is a summary of how I got HSL to work on my laptop, running Windows 8.1 Pro with LMS v 7.8 community.

It’s just refers to the most significant post by bpa

1. You need ffmpeg.exe on your system. To install that you may need 7Zip. I installed ffmpeg.exe (static 64 bit) into the LMS Bin directory alongside faad.exe - if you are unsure get Windows to find the files faad.exe and sox.exe.
The ffmpeg.exe came from here - http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/
2. On LMS GUI Settings/Plugins add the following URL to repository URLs at bottom of page. http://bpaplugins.googlecode.com/svn...po-playhls.xml
3. Click Apply - LMS should restart.
4. PlayHLS should appear as a plugin on bpa repository at bottom of page. Install as per normal and if necessary enable it.
5. LMS should restart
6. Check in WebGUI Settings/Advanced/Filetype that there a Apple HLS m3u8 File type and there are 3 ffmpeg entries set and not greyed out or disabled.




To get the file you need to unpack the file using 7zip and locate the .exe

C:\Users\Ronnie\Desktop\ffmpeg\ffmpeg-20150214-git-ac7fc44-win64-static\bin

Then locate the LMS Bin directory,

1) I went:

C:\Program Files (x86)>Squeezebox>server>Bin>MSWin32-x86-multi-thread


http://





And just dragged the file across


For the plug-in

and check the files

Restarted the Laptop and played some files.

Hope this helps



Props to all the folk doing the hard work.
