Hi,
I know this question or similar has been asked many times before, but
now that mobile streaming is all the rage with the hip young kids, I was
wondering if someone has come up with a solution...
I've been doing some searching and tested 2 other products that allow
secure External Streaming- i.e. Tonido & SubSonic, on both VortexBox as
well as native Windows installs of both these products.
Tonido is nice because the service proxies the stream (+1 for that)
SubSonic relies on a port forwarding setup within your router (it tries
to do it for you via UPNP). Not really a fan of that.
Both of there products use HTTPS, well the SubSonic setup of this is a
manual process :(.
Since we all know (cough..) that we should NEVER expose the LMS server
directly to the Internet, I'm wondering if anyone has come up with a
solution (software and/or services stack) to allow our favorite mobile
players to connect to LMS like the Tonido & Subsonic players can.
If it matters, I've also tested encapsulating the LMS servers HTTP
stream via 'stunnel', and can get to LMS without issue this way,
including the ../stream.mp3 method of playing tunes.
Are there any others options that should be looked at? Mobile apps that
setup a lighter weight proxy tunnel, rather than a full blown VPN
connection?
Would this take both a server-side component (Could this be done with a
plugin?) and would the players need modifications also?
Has anyone overcome these challenges yet?
Obviously, the best option would be something that fully encapsulates
LMS, with features like:
- Proxying of the the stream
- A frontend login with multiple usernames/passwords
- Accounts would have restrictions on what the mobile player can do
when it's operating in truly mobile mode -
- Whether it can only control itself or other players
- Whether is can change server settings/cause a rescan, etc.
-
I for one would LOVE to have Pippin of iPeng fame build this missing
piece, and then charge a small annual fee for access ;)
