Light-weight web based music browser / streamer

[mingoto]

Music Browser is a light-weight web-based browser and streamer for you music collection. It is light enough to run flawlessly on NAS devices like the Linksys NSLU2 or Freecom FSG3, and could serve as a simple alternative to software like Andromeda.

I just released version 0.4. It supports rudimentary playback via Slimserver, in case you (like me) feel that the Slimserver UI isn't snappy enough. Slimserver and server side playback can be limited to certain hosts.

Other features:
- Stream folders (recursively) or single files to your player of choice (WinAmp, iTunes, ...) with automatically generated .m3u or .pls playlists.
- Play music on a server-connected sound card/loudspeakers using a player like madplay or mpg321.
- Covers are shown for folders and albums if they are available.

All feedback is appreciated. Really!

Could someone tell me how to set it up with lighttpd. What packages should i install thru ipkg and what should i change in config file for lighttpd?

[avberk]

ipkg install php

[avberk]

ipkg install php

You also need to do this:

Open musicbrowser.php and change this line:


$this->root = Url::protocol() . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $folder;

into this:

$this->root = Url::protocol() . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . $folder;

I'm getting 403 - Forbidden when i try to connect to http://my.router/musicbrowser.
What's wrong, what should i set up in my lighttpd config to make it work (i've installed php with dependencies)

I'm using lighttpd 1.4.19 and PHP 5.2.6.

It was not necessary for me to make the change suggested on post #5. The only change I did was the documented one that requires the route to the folder where the mp3s are placed. As I wrote before, I just followed the instructions... no hassle!
