Here is the abstract: Netvibes + Slimserver Mashup = All Your MP3s Anywhere, In Any Browser Recently, I've been using netvibes for my rss needs. It's a slick, fast interface with ajax tabs and all sorts of actually useful web 2.0 interface bits. One of the cooler things about netvibes is you can subscribe to podcasts on your netvibes page, and it will play them in a small flash (?) mp3 player at the top of the screen, no external application required. For a long time, I've been using SlimServer to listen to my music library at work / wherever. It monitors my iTunes database (but can point to folders), and will transcode on the fly to a lower bitrate so that I can stream at a listenable quality on my residential cable connection. I've been using winamp to listen to the stream, but that was a little clunky, and I thought there must be a better way. Looking on the netvibes ecosystem (a repository of rss feeds, podcasts, and custom netvibes mini-apps called modules), I couldn't find a SlimServer control/streaming module. So, I decided to hack together my own solution which, if I say so myself is pretty ding-dang neat. g -- blah509 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ blah509's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1405 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=32293 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
