Can multiple streams share the same server-side MP3s?
Sep 11, 2009 11:00pm
Question:
How can I setup multiple, independent streams to share the same server-side MP3s for use with Centova Cast?
Answer:
Sharing MP3s between streams is not supported directly by Centova Cast, but
you can achieve the same functionality by creating a symbolic link in the stream's var/spool/media/ directory which points a shared directory. So for example, you might do this:
Note that if you use Centova Cast's FTP integration features, all users sharing the MP3 directory will have access to upload, overwrite, and delete the shared MP3 files. If this is a problem, you may wish to use UNIX file permissions to "lock down" the existing MP3s and prevent modifications. |
