make the webserver reachable by another PC on the local network

[deudtens163]

Hello,

is there any way to make the webserver reachable by another PC in the local network ?

I explain : I use a setup in wich the VideoPC where i want tu use the overlay is not the PC playing the music. I wish i could connect to the current-song2 websocket directly from the VideoPC. I tried to replace the rollback adress by the IP adress of the MusicPlayingPC in the url but this doesn't work. Is there already a way to do it ?

Response to myself : must be a firewall issue, try to open traffic on the port of webserver

must be a firewall issue, try to open traffic on the port of webserver

It's not a firewall issue, the server only listens on localhost:

https://github.com/Nerixyz/current-song2/blob/e1162f4e3c6e06fe6ed5e5d6e0aa0dc96dbd1fa6/src/main.rs#L106

I'll add a config option to set the bind-address.

Hello, for me there is another issue to remote connect to the http server from another PC in the network : the line under forces the ws to connect to localhost. https://github.com/Nerixyz/current-song2/blob/8ad19bc46ba78445b2e85acc44553fca0ca8ba0d/js/shared/url.ts#L5 Am I true ?

Right, fixed in https://github.com/Nerixyz/current-song2/releases/tag/v0.1.0-alpha.12.

Infos working properly 👍 Progression Bar fonctionnal but not accurate, doesn't synchonise well on distant PC but good locally Must still be an error with processing of image url

[Nerixyz]

I'm so sorry for missing that 😅 It should be fixed in https://github.com/Nerixyz/current-song2/releases/tag/v0.1.0-alpha.13 (with a few dependency updates and refactorings).

Thank you so much, you've been really very reactive to add this functionality. Great Work !
