Multimedia :: Remote Controlled Music



The vlc.8.6b dsl package that anonymous/stupid_idiot submitted has the http interface on it. I believe the current version on the mydsl archive has the http files on it, so launch vlc with "vlc -i dummy -extra-intra http" and then access it at http://*ip-address*:8080/
Alright, I'll try that tomorrow.

Just to double check, this will let me pull up the page on, say, my palm pilot or Nintendo DS browser, press play, and have the computer start playing through the stereo? And not stream through my palm? Because that's what I'm going for.

Your palm pilot and NDS can both SSH into your main comp and then you could use xmms-control :)
Ok this is weird.

I'm using the new 4.2.3 DSL, and I tried to load the VLC extension, but it gave me an error message "Please mount media containing optional dir and try again." at which point it fails to load the extension. I've never had this problem. Any ideas?

- that usually means you made a typo in the path or file name...
