control-httpQ use winamp via the web |
[ screenshot | downloads ] mini HOW-TO: Introduction control-httpQ is a WWW front end for the Winamp plugin httpQ 3.0 > version < 2.1 written in PHP. httpQ will allow you to remotely control a running instance of winamp on a network. An example would include public/guest playlist control on the home stereo PC system. Requirements Once the front-end is web viewable, the remote machines need only a web browser to control the machine running winamp. Install control-httpQ Extract and install the PHP control-httpQ files to any web viewable directory. Open up index.php in your favorite editor and change the variables $host, $port and $pass to match the host, port and password of the host machine running winamp with the httpQ plugin. You are now ready to control a working winamp with the httpQ plugin, just point your browser to the newly created directory on the web server running control-httpQ. Development control-httpQ uses httpQ.inc.php to handle talking between the GUI and httpQ plugin, leaving the GUI (index, remote, playlist) easy to customise. Theres a TODO.txt in the download, feel free to send a patch as the to-dos are GUI related, and im happy with my simple GUI :) |
