Mediabox won't play my m3u playlist. Songs are being streamed via http

I can see my playlist in Mediabox, but when I try to play it nothing happens. I can click on any of the songs, then Mediabox takes you back to the other screen and nothing happens. No music, no errors, no nothing.

Now one thing I was thinking was that maybe since my playlist has songs stored on my server at home, that may have something to do with it...I dunno. I stream all my music (To my phone, on other computers, etc) and I don't have any problems at all.

Re: Mediabox won't play my m3u playlist. Songs are being streamed via http

You have several options:

1. Choose another music player than MediaBox.
2. Choose "Internet Radio" from MediaBox and copy your URL.
3. Write a feature request to https://garage.maemo.org/projects/mediabox
4. Fix the problem yourself in the source code of MediaBox.
5. A more sophisticated way :Mount your remote file system with sshfs instead of http.

Code:

sudo gainroot



# install sshfs and fuse

apt-get install libfuse2 sshfs

chmod 777 /dev/fuse



# mount the remote file system

su -c user sshfs user@192.168.2.14:/remote/directory /local/mount



# 192.168.2.14 is the IP address of the remote computer



# unmount when finished

umount /local/mount

exit

Put this in a script to mount and a script to unmount. Use /etc/sudoers to get root permissions for your scripts.
