I'm trying to figure out how to easily be able to use the stream.mp3 connection method to playback music at work from my home server. The connection is no problem, I have a VPN nailed up between work and home and I can easily connect to the SlimServer http server, and I can also connect using SoftSqueeze. But sometimes I'd like to use Winamp instead.
If I pull up the web UI, the office computer player doesn't show up (I have one called 'WorkPC - Winamp', in which I've set up the desired bitrate limiting and other preferences). If I try to connect to stream.mp3 at this point I get a synch error in Winamp. Ok, there's no stream happening, so I understand that. I guess. So I play something to a Squeezebox on my home(?) network. Now I can connect to stream.mp3 from Winamp, but I get no music. I suppose that makes sense, the music isn't being streamed to this player. Now, at this point the player will show up in the SlimServer web UI and I can then add music to its playlist. Press 'play' again in Winamp and I get music on the office PC. All pretty damned confusing, as I'm not sure exactly what's going on here. Is there an explanation, or is this just the quirky way this has to work? -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=21434 _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
