Allow coverart webserver elsewhere on the network #827

Open mpdroidfan opened 8 years ago

mpdroidfan commented 8 years ago

I will shortly relocate my music files to a NAS box. It would seem an elegant solution to also run the coverart webserver on this same device (the NAS), freeing up this task from the MPD server. Is this currently possible? If not, could the "Settings" menu be modified to allow an IP address to be specified for "local" cover art. Thanks

Just run a http server on the NAS ...

Iirc providing a full URL to the cover path works

mpdroidfan commented 7 years ago

OK thanks. So in MPDroid - Settings > Cover art settings > Path to music by network name? \MUSICNAS\MyMusic

or by IP address? \192.168.1.100\MyMusic

You need to set "http://"

mpdroidfan commented 7 years ago

There should be a double-backslash at the start of each of those lines. This forum seems to reformat.

abarisain commented 7 years ago

Double backslash indicates a samba share from windows boxes. mpdroid only supports http servers

mpdroidfan commented 7 years ago

Thanks.

Does only the German help text contain the "http://..." advise?
