The problem with that is that not everyone will have it running on an external facing network interface.

The current IP detection should work well on an POSIX system, but adding a `url' configuration option as well as IP sounds like the best bet.

For those of you who haven't yet seen mediaserv in action, the release of 0.04 proper coincides with a video demo of it:

mediaserv refuses to play video files which are stored in directories with spaces in their names. Mencoder can be seen doing it's work, but attempting to play the video results in Media Player stopping immediately as soon as you try to play it.

Spaces in the video filenames themselves work fine.

Everything stored in my /Movies/ directory plays perfectly. Everything in /TV Shows/ does not. Moving a file I've attempted to play into the root of my share directories allows the video to play fine, even if it didn't work in the /TV Shows/ directory. So... as far as I can tell, it's a problem with spaces in the path to the video file.

That's a bit weird, though, as my demo included a file in "/data/Video/Family Guy - Season 4/12 - Something or other.avi"

zerojay: using microb or Opera? Playing through the web browser or Video Center? There are certainly a number of bugs in Opera/microb/Video Center with non-alphanumeric characters in URIs - I thought I'd worked round them, though :-(

Your evidence is fairly persuasive, though.

Microb was used with the web interface opening to media player.

This means I have to make $ip my internal IP and hardcode $URL to be my external FQDN, or else it doesn't point my browser to the right place. Not a big deal, just something to be aware of! (Also, I use VMWare, and when I let it autodetect my IP it chooses the last available interface, VMWare's vmnet, over eth0... I suppose mine is a exceptional case though >_>)
What changes did you make exactly? I want my mediaserv to be accessable from the outside as well.

I've got mediaserv externally accessible by having my router/firewall port forward 8090 to the internal server running it.

The next version should allow the separate specification of `url' and `ip', though, if your external IP is not known to your server.

Apparently it works on OS X, there's nothing Intel specific in it since it's written in Perl.
