Stream your music easily with GNUMP3d.
Install GNUMP3d with:
sudo urpmi gnump3d
Now we just need to edit a few things in the config file:
[located @ /etc/gnump3d/gnump3d.conf].
Lets create a backup of the original config file withthe following command in konsole:
sudo cp /etc/gnump3d/gnump3d.conf /etc/gnump3d/gnump3d.conf_backup
There are few things that need to be changed in the config file; set the root directory that your music is located in, the user name, access port and restrict access by IPs (and/or also create a password file in the music directory).
We’ll need root privileges to edit the config file so start kwrite with the following command in konsole:
kdesu kwrite /etc/gnump3d/gnump3d.conf
Find and replace the following in the config file:
root = /home/mp3 [replace /home/mp3 with the correct path for your music directory]
user = gnump3d [replace gnump3d with user that owns the music files]
<optional> port = 8888 [Replace 8888 with any port you wish]
<optional> allowed_clients = all [Replace all with the IP address or Ranges you wish to restrict access to]
The server needs to be restarted for the changes to take effect, issue the following command in konsole:
sudo /etc/init.d/gnump3d restart
<optional> Create a password file in the music directory named .password using the following format username:password example: gnump3d:music [note: the password file has to be readable to the user the server is running as]. Once the password file is set, users will be required to enter the user name and password to access the web interface. The user name, password will not be required to play any of the m3u once they’re downloaded.
The last thing we’ll need to do, is to allow lan traffic thru the designated port in shorewall. [ add 8888/tcp to other ports under the advance section of the firewall setup in the Control Center] No other action is required assuming we aren’t allowing wan access; if that is desired; port forward the designated port in your router.
Enjoy Streaming your tunes ;-)
