Streamerp2p Forum

hi everybody,
many friends of mine are actually using linux as o/s. they ask me if there's a version of streamer which works with linux.
thanks a lot.
ciao!

A version is planned and may be in testing soon. There has been a good deal of success lately with running the current win32 release using wine. Other info can be obtained by searching this forum for wine.

Just installed StreamerP2P on Linux, SuSe 10.1 to be exact. And I installed it with Wine. Just download it and start it, your Linux distrib will ask were you want to open it with type: wine and streamer will install.

Now there are a few things. First when you connect streamer will not be able to play the stream itself. But XMMS will be very happy to that for StreamerP2P. In XMMS you need to choose Play Location and type in http://localhost:8000/streamer.ogg when it is an OGG stream.

If it is a MP3 stream just change .ogg to .mp3 and with an AAC or AAC Plus change the extention to .aac furthermore when it is NSV, change it to nsv.
The View button does not work, because it needs Internet Explorer.

Otherwise StreamerP2P works great, have not tested broadcasting again yet, but no doubt it will work.

So that was You.
I see now Truly How it is.

Kubuntu awaits...

That is one of the finest, will try StreamerP2P on that one too.

Wonder if I can install Internet Explorer through Wine. LOL
Or Windows Media Player...

Ooh no I won't!

Love to see a true native Linux StreamerP2P.

With OGM support would be great.
Though theora is not that stable and very resource hungry.

Windows Media platyer and IE will work through the commercial implementation of the WINE product, Crossover Office.

You can get a 30 day trial version at their webpage http://www.codeweavers.com/

CrossOver Office is capable of running a range of Windows software, but CodeWeavers will support the following applications:

* Microsoft Office 2003, XP, 2000 and 97
o Microsoft Word
o Microsoft Excel
o Microsoft PowerPoint
o Microsoft Outlook *1
o Microsoft Internet Explorer
* Microsoft Access *2
* Microsoft Project
* Adobe Photoshop
* Microsoft Visio *3
* Lotus Notes 5.0 and 6.5.1
* Quicken
* iTunes
* FrameMaker
* Various Web Browser Plugins
o QuickTime
o Shockwave Director
o Windows Media Player 6.4
* and more...

Thanks, I think when people want to step over to Linux but do not want to lose Windows software compatibillity Crossover Office is a good thing.
But I have to state that there are a lot, and I mean a lot, of programmes that can deal with files that were created by Windows software.

Thing is that when Wine/Crossover Office have become as good as Windows itself, then this will also mean that worms and virusses will function as well too. Open Office can deal very well with Office file for example and GIMP can deal with Photoshop files.

But Windows is still king in ease of use and compatibillity. But that is also true for creating virusses and worms for it.Ubuntu ( and when you prefer KDE deskstop Kubuntu ) is a good step forward. And Open Source SuSE is very good indeed.

But I also have Windows XP still runing.

Hi, there are several treads about streamer under wine.
http://www.streamerp2p.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1197&highlight=wine
or search for "wine" in the forum.

Yes you are right you have to point xmms to the right location to play the stream. The internal player works for me under debian. I guess streamer runs under every distribution if wine is installed. For the internal player wine must have access to the sound system. The playback was choppy on my system (internal player)

And yes you can install IE but there is no good reason to do it

you dont have to convince me.. i'm an Mac OSX user at the desktop and my company is Redhat Enterprise throughout.

Good point there. Forgot that.



Opera is great, on Linux too and there are many many more that actually keep with the Web standards.
