Re-enable iTunes sharing outside local subnet
Ignore my previous posts, this option works much better. Ok, here are some new additions that should allow you to continue to share your music on your own computer at your office, and at the same time you shouldn't have to open a port on the firewall of either computer! Also, I will present two options. You can either allow other people on the subnet of your client (ie the people at work) also share your connection if you want, or you can lock it down so that they cannot (recommended unless you have a really fast upload rate on your server). For these instructions, I define the Server computer to be the computer that actually contains the music files (usually your home computer). I define the client to be the computer you want to play the remote files on (usually your work computer). On the server:
On the client: NOTE: You only have to do this on one computer within the subnet you want to share your music if you choose to do so.

I tried this and it seemed to work great. I actually have access to my home library. But every song I try to play will play for about 10-20 seconds and then just stop and move to the next song. Any idea why?

I have successfully shared my iTunes Library outside my LAN (across the internet) to a user running Windows NT with a combination of Rendezvous Proxy and mt-daapd. My goal was to setup a server that would allow interaction with the library without having to have iTunes open. mt-daapd is a very nice Rendezvous iTunes server you run on the machine where your audio files are that you wish to share. Rendezvous Proxy is a cross-platform java app that runs on the client (remote person wishing to access your itunes library).
I am currently working on some documentation and a Mac installer for mt-daapd for the developer so hopefully they will be available soon. Until then you will need to compile it yourself. You could in fact do without the mt-daapd server as long as you leave your itunes open, but it has been my experience that iTunes is unrealiable as the server end of it. The nice thing about mt-daapd is that it supports playlists and smart playlists, plus it can be built on many unix variants (Linux, etc). |
