If the server is not writting anything to the socket,
then it was not able to open the song, or your client
is just disconnecting. Make sure the server
has acess to read all the songs in your playlist. The
playlist should have one song per line, with the
absolute path (ie /usr/lcoal/share/music/mysong.mp3 or something
like that).
If that doesnt help, then what is your actuall error. It
could be a problem with your mp3 client. I assume you can play
music with the client without the server?
If you cant resolve your problem, provide a more exact
description of the problems. Or try to step through it
with the debugger.
You can always telnet to the server (assuming it is running on port 8000) and see the file contents
being written to you.
telnet localhost 8000
This will cause the server to spew out the file contents.
If no random characters appear on your screen, then the server
was not able to open any files in you playlist.

It's printing out the song, and it's sending it to the port, but it's cycling through songs VERY fast.

Well if you telnet to the port and it is printing the binary
to the screen, then the server works. That is all it does.
The whole purpose is to print binary to the socket.
I would bet that the problem lies in your mp3 player, what
player are you using and what OS are you using. I
have been using this server in some form or another for about
a year now, so I nearly positive that the problems you are
having are not related to the server code (unless they are
OS specific, in which case I probably cant help).
But if you can track down the problems and the cause does
lay in my code, then let me know and I will make the corrections.

I was having a problem getting XMMS to play. Connecting to the server in Firefox though I could see the server was sending data. I was using XMMS 1.2.10. I turned the prebuffer percent to 0% for libmpg123.so plugin and it worked fine after that. | [reply] |
