User Feedback :: DSL for playing mp3 over a network
Well it's not "really" a gui interface.. It's just any ol' web browser. You don't even need X to make it run, or manage the mp3 dirs, for server use.. You would nornally use X and a browser to select a stream for playback.. ( Not even then, I just tried links hacked, and it works fine as well )
73 ke4ntHi Ke4nt,
How are you launching Edna? I've downloaded and installed python2.3.tar.gz and edna.dsl and copied MP3s to /opt/mp3s (on a DSL 0.8.1.1 HD install), but I haven't had any luck running Edna (and Python) via the Fluxbox menu or a command line. Before I post details and a complete description of the errors I'm getting I thought I'd just quickly confirm how you're (sucessfully) getting Edna to run.
Thanks!Good to see you again, dslfool ..
The shell command is ednastart, which sets up the export path to python, and runs "sudo python edna.py"
The fluxbox menu option always works for me, even from a stock, pristine DSL liveCD bootup..
I use the python.uci, but I tested with the python2.3.tar.gz, and it ran fine for me..
I see the "python edna.py" running in my "ps ax" command.
I'm NO PYTHON DUDE, and originally this app had python included in it. I didn't see a need to have the same version of python in two places at once, so surely this is hacked together haphazardly...
You won't hurt my feelings if you "edit" this one a bit. I know that the "edna" and "ednad" files point to the old places, but the PYTHONPATH seems to deal with that issue ..
My kids just think this is "da bomb" , only because they can get in all my mp3's.. ( they haven't figured out how to capture streams yet! )
and yes, I was also running this on DSL.0.8.1.1
73 ke4ntDude that rocks...now you can turn an old laptop or whatnot into a freeking MP3 jukebox for all your friend!!! How freekin cool is that!!!

Gosh, given the lame-ass questions I tend to ask, I dunno if that's really true. :-)
Anyway, Hi again and thanks. I'm getting closer - I was getting some weird errors, but after a magic restart of DSL, Edna's running with no complaints. Thanks for the "localhost:8080" and "ps ax" tips!
Now I'm having difficulty connecting from another computer, but I'll play with this a bit more before I formalize this into another lame-ass question.
