| | Often it is very useful to share your media files across the network, especially if you want to use it on different computers. This can be done in different ways: |

|
| '''Amarok''' is able to play music from an '''Ampache'''-media-server. '''Ampache''' needs an '''Apache'''-server to work.
| |
|
| |
|
| === Server ===
| | <!--T:3--> |
| | | {{Prevnext2 |
| On '''Debian'''-based distributions like '''Ubuntu''' you can install a '''Ampache'''-server using '''sudo apt-get install ampache'''.<br />
| | | prevpage=Special:myLanguage/Amarok/Manual/Organization/Collection/StatisticsSynchronization | nextpage=Special:myLanguage/Amarok/Manual/Organization/Collection/RemoteCollections/Ampache |
| You need to tell the '''Apache'''-server where it can find the '''Ampache'''-files. Create the file ''/etc/apache2/conf.d/ampache'' with the following content:<br />
| | | prevtext=Statistics Synchronization Between Collections and with Last.fm | nexttext=Ampache |
| {{Input|1=
| | | index= Special:myLanguage/Amarok/Manual | indextext=Back to Menu |
| Alias /music "/usr/share/ampache/www/"
| |
| <directory />
| |
| DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
| |
| Options Indexes MultiViews
| |
| AllowOverride None
| |
| Order allow,deny
| |
| Allow from all
| |
| </directory>
| |
| }} | | }} |
| Restart '''Apache''' with the command ''/etc/init.d/apache2 restart'' so you can access the '''Ampache'''-webinterface using http://localhost/music/ . You get the following page:<br />
| |
| [[File:remotecollections_ampache_installation.png]]<br />
| |
| Choose your language and click <menuchoice>Start configuration</menuchoice> to configure '''Ampache'''. Enter the configuration of your '''MySQL'''-database:<br />
| |
| [[File:remotecollections_ampache_installation1.png]]<br />
| |
| Click <menuchoice>Insert Database</menuchoice> to create the user and database. You will get an error message because there is already a configuration file which is empty. Just enter your '''MySQL'''-configuration again and click <menuchoice>Write Config</menuchoice> and you will get a configuration file as download.<br />
| |
| [[File:remotecollections_ampache_installation3.png]]<br />
| |
| Save this file to ''/usr/share/ampache/www/config/ampache.cfg.php'' and overwrite the existing (empty) configuration. After you clicked <menuchoice>Continue to Step 3</menuchoice> you can create the initial account to manage '''Ampache'''.<br />
| |
| [[File:remotecollections_ampache_installation4]]<br />
| |
| Log into your newly created account:<br />
| |
| [[File:remotecollections_ampache_login.png]]<br />
| |
| And you will get the webinterface:<br />
| |
| [[File:remotecollections_ampache_webinterface.png]]<br />
| |
| Click on <menuchoice>Add a Catalog</menuchoice> in the <menuchoice>Admin</menuchoice> on the left to create a new catalog of music.<br />
| |
| [[File:remotecollections_ampache_catalog.png]]<br />
| |
| Create a new guest account using <menuchoice>Admin -> Add User</menuchoice>:<br />
| |
| [[File:remotecollections_ampache_createuser.png]]<br />
| |
| Now you need to allow guest access on your server. Open the configuration in ''/usr/share/ampache/www/config/ampache.cfg.php'' and remove the ';'-character before ''auto_user = "guest"''. Restart '''Apache''' and the server configuration is finished.<br />
| |
|
| |
| === Client ===
| |
|
| |
| Activate the '''Ampache''' service using <menuchoice>Settings -> Configure Amarok... -> Internet Services</menuchoice>.<br />
| |
| [[File:remotecollections_ampache_client.png]]<br />
| |
| Configure the service with the data entered on the server:<br />
| |
| [[File:remotecollections_ampache_client1.png]]<br />
| |
| Now the '''Ampache''' service should appear in the left pane.<br />

| == Digital Audio Access Protocol (DAAP) ==
| |
|
| |
| '''DAAP''' is a protocol to share media in a network. It was first used in the program '''iTunes''', but is widely used today.
| |
|
| |
| === Server ===
| |
|
| |
| On '''Debian'''-based distributions like '''Ubuntu''' you can install a DAAP-server using ''sudo apt-get install mt-daapd''. This will install the '''Firefly'''-DAAP-server. You can configure it using the webinterface by opening the page http://localhost:3689/index.html . The default password is '''mt-daapd''', the user field stays empty.<br />
| |
| [[File:remotecollections_daap_config.png]]<br />
| |
|
| |
| === Client ===
| |
|
| |
| '''Amarok''' automatically shows the tracks from the server in the left pane and no further configuration is required.<br />
| |
| [[File:remotecollections_daap.png]]<br />
| |
|
| |
| == Samba ==
| |
|
| |
| '''Samba''' is a free implementation of the '''SMB/CIFS''' protocol which is used to share files and printers in a network. Most modern file managers like '''Dolphin''' and '''Nautilus''' support this protocol.
| |
|
| |
| === Server ===
| |
|
| |
| The easiest way is to use your file manager. On '''Debian'''-based distributions like '''Ubuntu''' you can install a '''Dolphin''' extension to manage shares using ''sudo apt-get install kdenetwork-filesharing''. Open the properties of a folder in '''Dolphin''' and switch to the <menuchoice>Share</menuchoice> tab.<br />
| |
| [[File:remotecollections_samba_server.png]]<br />
| |
| After clicking at <menuchoice>Configure File Sharing...</menuchoice> the configuration dialogs is opened.<br />
| |
| [[File:remotecollections_samba_server1.png]]<br />
| |
| Change the settings to <menuchoice>Advanced Sharing</menuchoice> and the <menuchoice>Allowed Users</menuchoice> to <menuchoice>Allow all users to share folders</menuchoice>.<br />
| |
| [[File:remotecollections_samba_server2.png]]<br />
| |
| Then you can add the folder to the shares. Click at <menuchoice>Add...</menuchoice> and share the desired folder with '''Samba'''.<br />
| |
| [[File:remotecollections_samba_server3.png]]<br />
| |
|
| |
| === Client ===
| |
|
| |
| You need to mount the share to use it in '''Amarok'''. To do this, you need to install the package ''smbfs''. Use the command ''sudo mount -t cifs //'''host'''/'''share''' '''/mount-point/''''' to mount the share. After that you can use it like a local folder and add it to your local collection.
| |
|
| |
| == Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) ==
| |
|
| |
| '''UPnP''' is a set of protocols to share media on the network. It is also supported by a wide range of Wi-Fi access points.
| |
|
| |
| === Server ===
| |
|
| |
| On '''Debian'''-based distributions like '''Ubuntu''' you can install a '''UPnP'''-server using ''sudo apt-get install ushare''. The service is started in the terminal with the command '' ushare -n '''servername''' [-i '''interface'''] [-c '''folder''']''. You can also manage shares using the webinterface, which you can access by opening http://127.0.0.1:port/web/ushare.html in the browser. ''port'' needs to be adjusted to your settings.
| |
|
| |
| === Client ===
| |
|
| |
|
| You also need a '''UPnP'''-client, which can be installed using ''sudo apt-get install djmount''. '''UPnP''' discovery can be started using ''djmount '''mountpoint'''''. After that you can use it like a local folder and add it to your local collection.
