HTTPS Music Streaming

Postby Aqualung » 01 Nov 2013 18:27

Alright, got me a brand spankin' new R7000 router, and this one actually has HTTPS server capabilities, hence methinks that this might be a more secure music streaming choice. It wouldn't work though, as VLC complains about a "Certificate verification failure (0x0042)." How would I get VLC to accept whatever certificate it needs please? Sending credentials via the URL line (https://username:password@wherever.com/path/file.flac) doesn't seem to work.

Many thanks for your advice.

Could you try this build and see if it works for you?

Excellent! https streaming works fine now! Good job! Unfortunately, as mentioned before, VLC would only play the first track in an .m3u playlist. When will that be fixed please?

It should be able to open all tracks, and it should automatically advance to the next one.

Check the 'History' tab.

The way I launch playback of the .m3u list is a bit funny: the .m3u file is being kept locally on my phone, and when I press on it my file manager (Root Explorer) asks what application should open it. I then press on VLC, and playback starts, though, as I said, only the first track plays. Do you have another suggestion as to how I could get VLC to do playback of an .m3u file?

Thank you for your support.

You can check the history tab

Yes, indeed, if the .m3u list makes its way into History, things work fine. Where exactly is the History kept please, just so I can make sure it's hydrated properly?

"Hydrated" ?

I doubt you want to pour water over your device; that wouldn't end very well would it?
