With Amazon now charging and my music already on my myth BE, I would like to see the feasibility to 'Cloud' my music directory.

I've tried to use the MythWeb music tab, but that won't even stream to my Win XP laptop on network using VLC (seems to be a password problem). I'm not confident I could stream to my Android phone at work.

Any thoughts on a direction to try or any working models to follow? If I find a solution, I'll update.

TIA

Have you installed the new google play app on your phone or your media computer?
http://support.google.com/googleplay/bi ... er=1229970
Install this software on your Windows or Mac ( I haven't tried Linux) and it will upload your music to Google's servers.
With the new Google Play app available in the Play store you can stream the music to your android device.
Once the music is uploaded you can also go to http://www.play.google.com/music and you can stream everything from their servers to your computer.
I unfortunately can't benefit from streaming my music to my android device since my coverage at work is terrible.

Probably not the answer you were looking for butt......

the solution that worked for me was to run the subsonic music streamer:

http://www.subsonic.org/pages/index.jsp

this is free software when you stream it via a web browser. there is a small license fee if you wish to stream to ios or android apps

This does look interesting. Do you have this serving media from your mythbox? If so, can you what steps did you take to get this going? (I don't want to bork my working box.)

And is it just me or wasn't there a MythWeb mp3 player included a few versions back? Is that still available?

I have subsonic running on my myth box. the subsonic music server is a java application. if not already installed, you will need to install java via pacman. it is rather safe. mythtv really has no idea it is running.

i grabbed the tar file and untarred it into /usr/local/bin/subsonic with mythtv as the owner

the startup script /usr/local/bin/subsonic/subsonic.sh had trouble finding java_home, so i made this update:



and added:


to /etc/runit/1.local so it would startup on boot

then, make some links in:



you can then grab a hostname in the subsonic.org domain in the network settings and you have your own cloud server. be sure to open the default port 4040 at your router if you do want it open on the internet

once you have all that running, you can set up users and transcoding options

not sure about the mythweb mp3 player

Subsonic definitely warrants another look. I've been using Jinzora for ages and it is normally simple to install since it is php and mysql based. However, I'm not certain it is supported anymore. The last update was Jinzora 3 published in 2010.

I've got Subsonic up and running, thanks to the tips from welner (hardest part was finding java in pacman libraries [pacman -Sy jre]). Subsonic sets up very easy and I've been streaming to my droid phone for the last couple hours off and on without issue. The app is very well done and so is the browser software, easy to setup playlists and it seems to play nice with mythtv. I haven't been able to use the video streaming yet, maybe play with that later.
