Hi All, I have started to move forward with some of my home projects & one of them was to get over the frustration of having to copy files to a media player to listen to somewhere else in the house.
To that end I have installed Subsonic on my server (Windows 2003) for the time being. I have created a new user & have added the music folder. Voila life is good & I can listen to music thru a web browser on a different computer in the house. But what I would like to do is listen through something like Clementine, Amroak, VLC, etc. I just want to listen to randoms ongs with minimal management of playlists, etc. Essentially I just want to click a song & play it like I would if i was sitting at the location where the music is located. As well, if I see song I like I would like to add it to my media player. I have tried adding a network share but the players insist on local files, so that is why I started looking at Subsonic. I have tried adding links to network shares on my Kubuntu 10.10 laptop to windows share on the server but i can't play the files. I am thinking that it is something to do with setting up a stream, but up to this point I haven't been able to add one. I currently access Subsonic at http://server:81. I was being prompted for vlc to open a playlist everytime i clicked s ong & I eventually just let it do that & was able to play a whole album. I am hoping I don't need to add all of the songs to a play list in order to stream them to the devices in the house. I just want to be able to choose a media player, click on a song & away I go. I know I haven't really provided much diagnostic information, as I am not sure what would be pertinent. If anyone has questions, let me know,. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
