OpenFSG

Hi,

I just put my music browser up on sourceforge, in case anyone is interested:

Music Browser is a light-weight web based browser 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. Music Browser supports streaming of albums and songs, and shows cover images if they are present.

The script does not have to be in the same folder as your music, and requires a web server and PHP5 to run.

Get it at http://musicbrowser.sourceforge.net/

All feedback is appreciated.

This sounds great ! But to require php5 is a bit pushy as the fsg
firmawares use php4 ...
Most peeps will not attempt to install php5 due to lack of linux experience.

kPlaylist is a single script that is very good for the out of box fsg.

Alright, I stripped out the PHP5 specific stuff. Check out version 0.2 on sourceforge, it runs on PHP 4.3 and up.

Please give me a notice if this worked for you (or not).

Thanks.

I will release version 0.3 in a short while. It includes very basic support for a server side music player (e.g. madplay), has lower PHP version requirements (4.2), and the configuration is cleaner.

Is there anything else you'd like to see fixed or changed before I release it?

I haven't had the chance to install it and compare it to the web player overhauled by dbeardsl

wait for play until buffered 100%
full bass and trebble

just installed it, it is really a browser, not a player, which has it's advantages too compared to the flash player from dbeardsl

I use the flash player to listen to my music at work where I have no access to the windows media player, but it lack an equalizer

with the browser you can use all the plugins from your win player

I'd add "play entire folder"

You can play an entire folder by going into the folder and selecting the play icon in the header. (Looks like regular play triangle with "pls" or "m3u" next to it).

muchas gracias, señor

In celebration of 100 downloads from sourceforge, here is version 0.3. It sports prettier URLs, cleaner config, basic server side playback, recursive folder streaming, GUI improvements and bug fixes.

All feedback is appreciated.

Nice, I do not fully understand the server sided player part yet, but I'll tinker some with it

cheers (Listening to Camel, the Snowgoose now)

If your server has a sound card and loudspeakers connected to it, Music Browser can use a player (e.g. madplay or mpg321) to play music on them.

The server side playback support is very basic right now, but it should work. Make sure the web server process is allowed to use the sound device (e.g. with "sudo chmod a+w /dev/dsp*").

Nice and clean / quick !

skins and colours a bit naf but im crap with things like that my self !!

Well done !

You can change skin/colours quickly by editing template.inc, play.gif and download.gif. Feel free to share your changes!

just a little bug

folders with " ' " in the name are unreadable

Screamin' for my supper

Hmm, it works here. Could you do a "ls -d foldername > file.txt" on the folder and mail file.txt to me? I suspect there's something the encoding, maybe you're on UTF-8?
