Title: where is my remote server?
Post by: mabes on June 27, 2009, 06:51:21 pm

I've enabled it in Options but it's nowhere to be found. Library Server shows up in the list. I've given JRiver access in Zone Alarm, Windows firewall is not enabled.

edited - Well it doesn't seem to be listed in the plug in folder. If the problem is that it's not installed, where do I get it, I've been to the MC plug in page and don't see it anywhere

edited again - I found it in the folder. Clicked on install - "Failed to install plug in."

Take a look at the "Servers" entry on our wiki (link above).  It explains more.  It won't show up as a plug-in.

If you know the IP address, try this in a web browser on another PC.

http://[address]
or if you've set a port different than 80, try this
http://[address]:[port]

You can also try it from the same PC:
http://localhost

I looked at the Wiki first and did what it said. But under Services and Plug Ins there is no Remote Server. There is a TiVo server, a library server and a upnp server. BTW I just downloaded the latest MC13

It isn't a plug-in.  Try what I said above.

Got it. Was used to clicking on upnp server for example and clicking Start Server. THanks

Adding songs with the server gave me an idea. What if we had the option of displaying a "+" to the far left of every song. Clicking it would add it to Playing Now. And in Playing Now, you could have a minus sign.

I'm lazy, I hate double clicking   ;)

Jeez, I'm having trouble again. I only did this once and it worked. I'm pretty sure, from this laptop downstairs, I just entered http://localhost and it worked, but its not now. I know I'm connected to my wireless network
