Anyone have any solutions (besides the dog slow DLNA, UPNP) for getting music through a phone or iPhone from the unRaid server?

i use 2 players on android

 

1 Plex... mostly for movies and tv series and because it scrobbles to Trakt

2. when i am in a hurry and want to play something music most of the time ... or when plex is not available because i am messing with it ...

    then i use ES File explorer... it has the ES player build in .. which streams straight from your unraid server

subsonic is pretty slick too.  check the forums.  theres a very good tutorial on setting it up.

you can check my plug in for subsonic here:

+1 for subsonic. Works great for audio. Video works but not through the app. There is an iOS app that supports it but I have had so-so luck with it.

I have all my music in .flac format on my unRaid server and use JRiver MC and the Gizmo app to stream the music to my HT, housewide, or to an iPad or Droid. Of course, JRMC has to be running on a PC to 'serve' the Gizmo app.

whats different with these then using the logitech media server and apps ?

 

Are you guys talking about over wifi or away from home?

I installed the Subsonic app that JANGJONG mentioned above.

It works both locally and remotely through the internet.

Most of my music collection is also FLAC (really large music files). Subsonic recodes all of it to an appropriate mp3 format before streaming it to my device via ethernet or wifi and internet.

I've been able to listen to my flacs at home through my Android's 3G data connection in the car - very cool.

It's a snappy program, and works great.

Started using Archos Video Player a few days ago on Android, can handle SMB and UPnP shares

Works a bit like XBMC where you can set up libraries for movies and TV Show and it will download artwork for each show

 

Some problems with TV Shows though, it doesn't support nfo files or recognise folder names for TV Shows, so if your episode name doesn't include the show name it won't get indexed properley.

 

You'll also need to download another codec app, if you have any DTS files

Apart from the problems with TV Shows it does work pretty good. Developer is aware of issues with TV Shows so hopefully will be sorted in future releases.

thanks dude.

i am only play my own music and compose too... sada te kirtan di hi kahani hi sire a,,, rab da naam te la layi da a....................

I've been using jrmc17 with Gizmo as well. Have you been able to listen to your library when you are not connected to your LAN?

 

I've been trying to figure out how to configure port forwarding to enable this, but still don't know what I am doing.

 

If you have this working, I'd appreciate any advice.
