First of all, how are your friends connecting and attemting to play music? What players are they using at their end? What format is the music stored in on your server?
If they are trying to stream high bitrate music across the internet it is likley that this will fail as the player at their end cannot get enough data fast enough to enable playing of a continuous stream. You will need to set up bitrate limiting for the remote players such that the streams get transcoded to a suitable mp3 format prior to sending. Secondly, having your ports open is a little dangerous as you are enabling access to your slimserver to anybody who can hit your ip address. This would include the neat trick of selecting a suitable song and feeding it to your player (ideally if you have one called "bedroom") at maximum volume at 3am. I would hope you are using some form of security such as ssh. davep -- davep ------------------------------------------------------------------------ davep's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=61 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26761 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
