how to play files on the network with mplayer?
 

Hello

ive done searches but cant find an answer. i can see shared files on my phone and the default media player can see the network shared folders. but i cannot figure out how to make mplayer see these files. ive got both kmplayer and sib cannot see network files. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

thanks

MediaBox can use mplayer as a backend for playing from UPnP shares.
Its default backend on the N900 is MAFW, but it can easily be configured to use mplayer instead.

For mplayer you need to get the HTTP URLs of the files on the share, and that is the hard part.
If you're lucky, your UPnP server has some web interface where the URLs become visible and the content is browsable.
