Overview

  • Can browse & play full albums, artists/composers, tags, genres etc via web interface.
  • Defaults to same player as Muso but can be switched independently
  • Muso must remain open on windows to act as server
  • Muso must be run in Administrator Mode (OS level configuration)
  • As Beta functionality it may disappear in later versions if not viable/stable

Step by Step Instructions

  • Start the Server via this button on the toolbar

  • Server endpoint is opened by Muso and URL shown next to toolbar button

  • Click on the URL to test that it opens in your local browser.
  • Browse to the same URL on your mobile device connected to the same LAN. Trouble-shooting:
    • If the page doesn't open the remote, try it without the .local part of the URL, i.e. http://jeremyb5440:5555/
    • If your Muso host is behind a firewall, you may have to configure a rule to open up the specific port used.
