Re: [Gnump3d-users] Re: Is This Normal Streaming Behavior?

[Bryan Moore]

Some additional details:

• I can play the files on the computer to which the external hd is connected using http://192.168.1.3:5190/.
• I can see the files on my laptop connected to the lan using http://192.168.1.3:5190/.
• netstat is now reporting 5190 as open.
• I can download files through gnump3d, but can't open them in either vlc or mplayer.

Sounds like it is a either a file system permissions issue or that a
firewall is blocking application(s) or access to the port that you have
GnuMP3d running on.

Verify that all the files AND directories are readable/browsable by the
user that GnuMP3d is running as.

To double-check, I set all files and dirs as 777.
 

Verify that the server/service is running on the port you expect it to
be on using netstat.

netstat doesn't show port 5190 as open... I'm guessing this may be the problem. How's this solved?
 

Verify that you can connect to the port with telnet from a remote machine.

Telnet reports it cannot make a connection.

If you have a firewall (FW)
       Verify that your FW is not blocking your application(s)
       Verify that your FW is not blocking any of the ports for GnuMP3d

Completely disabled ufw just for testing.
 

If all the above are correct, then I'm out of ideas

Thanks for the effort, Jim!
