Home Internet Media Server - help required

[David]

Basically...is there a way to take for example your personal music collection, broadcast it on the web somehow so i can connect to my library and stream from my home pc? autentication would be helpful obviously...but basically i just want to listen to my music remotely....

doing it through RDP sounds tinny and shite. Any ideas guys?

Its all web based and you just leave it running on your PC and go onto the orb website on whatever you want to listen to your music on

can i just say - kirspwee, thank you mate. that is perfect, works so well aswell. it's awesome, already able to see 120g of all my music from anywhere in the worl. absofuckinglutely awesome. Free aswell.

Streams direct to windows media player so can use keyboar dcontrol, quality is awesome. Exactly what i wanted!

 

[Krispwee]

no probs!

Also if you've got a TV card in your PC you can stream TV anywhere with it aswell

Orb looks amazing. I did not even realise you could do stuff like that.

Orb: been listening to it non stop, can't get over the quality. superb program, cannot believbe you don't have to pay for it. just shared some videos, will try out streaming to iphone later so far it all works perfectly

My work firewall is blocking the app so I will have to test at home. boo

I have my home media available for streaming.. but its a custom solution that ties into my mythtv home entertainment system.
