SlimServer (network music player)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Slim Devices is a powerful and free Open Source application that will
|
||
|
|
power any Squeezebox or Transporter but also any software MP3 player
|
||
|
|
on your network.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You will need to create a "slimserver" user on the system prior to
|
||
|
|
installing this package - if the user is not present, then the
|
||
|
|
post-install script will print and error and exit.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you want SlimServer to start at boot, you will need to make the
|
||
|
|
/etc/rc.d/rc.slimserver file executable and add the following to
|
||
|
|
/etc/rc.d/rc.local:
|
||
|
|
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.slimserver ]; then
|
||
|
|
/etc/rc.d/rc.slimserver start
|
||
|
|
fi
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To setup your SlimServer, open your web browser on the system you installed
|
||
|
|
SlimServer on and go to http://localhost:9000 to access the web interface.
|
||
|
|
To tell SlimServer where your music is stored, click the "Server Settings"
|
||
|
|
link on the left. You will find a "Music Folder" section to enter the path.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By default, SlimServer will let anyone connect and stream music. You may
|
||
|
|
want to check out the Security section and setup a username and password.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You have to register your player with SlimServer before you can start
|
||
|
|
playing music. To do that, open the URL http://localhost:9000/stream.mp3
|
||
|
|
in your music player. After that you can control everything via the web
|
||
|
|
interface. You can down sample the bit rate in the player specific audio
|
||
|
|
settings.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For more setup info check out the Help section at the bottom of the left
|
||
|
|
hand panel. I'll leave the rest for you to explore on your own. Enjoy!
